I have the JD2 model 3 bender, it does a nice job, the benders are the cheat part, the dies are $300+ depending on the size. I used the 1" radius tubing, it ended up looking factory.

LundMx:
So more progress made once again! check it out!  :mrgreen:



weld time!







TIME TO MOUNT THIS MOTOR!







TIME TO MOUNT THE FRONT OF THE MOTOR









LIKE A GLOVE!







AND TONIGHT WE START ON THE HEADSTAY AND PIPE!

sandblaster:
Excellent progress.
Great job!

LundMx:
Ran into a snag, and a big one at that!  the kx250f radiators are too long and hit the "Y" piece... need shorter rads.. any suggestions on where to start?

LundMx:
Tonight we got started on the final stretch of the motor mounting



The head stay came out super solid!







And now to take 1/2 kx500 pipe and 1/2 cr500 pipe and make one!
