The Chopper Compendium

Gary, I want to thank you again for the great, free bender plans. Even now, I can go look at what I made from your plans and cannot believe it. It is totally functional and it's the coolest tool I own, now. I had been thinking about buying a hardtail to weld onto my '64 duo-glide frame, but then I s...

Heck yeah, that looks a lot better already. Now all ya need is a round tube swing arm.

I have not yet received my JD2 brand 1", 3" radius die, so I am finishing up the rest of the bendo-matic. I still am not 100% sure I got it right, but so I can be clear, the picture shows the 1/4" pilot hole in the frame plates, which I drilled before I realized the instructions said,...

That's looking great. I haven't gotten to that stage yet, but looking forward to seeing your progress.
What are you using to cut the plate with?

Thanks,
I think you did a great job - and it must have taken a lot of time to do all the writing and explaining and taking pictures, and I am amazed you haven't been selling those plans instead of giving them away.
It is really appreciated!
Mike

I sent you a pm. My name is Mike, nice meting ya. Yep, that's pretty sweet.

I was so happy to see that chrome shiney beauty under the Ch...

That's great! One mini biker to another... Looks like I am kind of following you, reading your bender thread and now the mini bike. Can you say what plans you are getting? I searched a long time before I stumbled across some mini bike plans that were pretty darn good and totally free, too. I'd be ha...

Another question please... (If this has been covered in another thread already, I apologize for not seeing it.) I also apologize if my attempt to describe the following confuses anybody else as much as it confuses me. :-? The width of the assembled frame plates and control arm plates. I don't have a...

Thanks a lot, everybody!
And if I didn't already say, thanks for the Bendomatic plans! I'll try to post a picture of our progress on it soon.

Hi everybody. New guy here, and first, thanks for allowing me the chance to participate in your website. I found it while searching for tube bender info, which was a search-ender for me. No need to look elsewhere - and I am happy to say I am mostly finished building the bendomatic bender. There are ...
