You could always go old school

Weld a pipe to a workbench, or a piece of flat steel bolted to a wooden bench

Then heat the tube up with a acy torch and bend it around that

I would love a bender. Me and Bob are keeping our eyes out for one. But the ones we want are like 7 grand plus new.

You have to get one within the next few months, so you can build me an exo while im in afghanistan

i want to go 1.75in or 2.0 in diameter but ive been trying to make it work with the stock fenders and the 6 inch radius is just a little too big. I might go down to 1.5in diameter just so i can bend it with a 5 inch radius so it can fit better.Thanks
