Hi all, cant find any bars that will suit my bike 'off the shelf', Im after drag bar style but want the bends at a specific angle and spot.

Anyone know of anyone in west/south-western Sydney that could do it??

If all you want is drag bars then get the diameter of pipe needed to fit your current risers and visit your local steel supplier.
The bends are easily achievable with a vice and some heat.

you are better off without the heat ...but as cruise said it is easily achievable

I want a neat bend preferably without using heat, but the only guy I found in my area that said he could bend the stainless tube I got reckons it'll fracture and weaken if I bent it??? and that I should use chromoly tube, but he didnt have any and didnt really like his attitude so dont wana go to him.
