Anyone with a 3/4" OD pipe bender to about 150 degrees?

[DanW]

It seems a bit of a challenge to find anyone in my area that has a 3/4" OD pipe bender that will go past 90 degrees. I have an xs2 being converted (slowly) to a street tracker and I'm cutting off the existing frame hoop behind the shocks and want to add a new one to fit a champion style seat pan. The bend I'm estimating about 150 degrees and no one in my area can go past 90 degrees. Can anyone help??

I think ya are lookin' for a 30 degree bend.

No--30degrees wouldn't give me a loop--almost the shape of a "U".

You might have someone do a pair of 75s back to back with a small flat at the top and see if you like it

Yea--that's my plan "B" if I can't find anyone with the special bender.

I think conduit benders only go to about 120. Where are you Dan? If you can find a Parker Hydraulics place, they can usually bend some pretty extreme stuff. They use offset roller dies so they can infinitely vary the bend radius, until the inside of the tube starts piling up on them, anyway. Most heavy equipment repair places have a hose shop within about 100 miles or so to make spares for them.
Hope this helps.

Thanks JD--I'll give that a try
