For those of you who followed my Gottrikes monster bender build on the old forum, I'll be posting some build pics plus an update to detail the conversion to air/hydraulic.

I will also be building a modified version soon....... :shhh:

I haven't done any tech drawings for this but it isn't too difficult to work out. Having said that, I've had several emails via Frank the designer of the bender, from other builders around the world who want to know where I bought the diamind die...none of them believe him when he says a girl made it...then they email me and ask very politley for the specs......... :hand:

Anyhow, here's some :banana-gotpics: to get you started....

and of course the story of the famous diamond die...I didn't have a single piece of steel big enough so I designed it to be made from sections....

The dies for the Gottrikes bender are ProTools which are slightly different but I'm told the JD2 dies will fit - I think the difference is in the width of the centre boss....

SELF INTRODUCTION: HI there, my name is Joe and l live in Melbourne-Australia. I built my very first rigid chopper in 1999 and lam still riding it today. l bought it as a rolling chassis and built it up with new and second hand parts. It has shovel tanks, 80cubic in Evo, 4 speed kick start transmission and 3' open belt drive. I work in the fitness industry but also do some extra work fabricating and welding roll cages for rally cars. l enrolled into a welding course during the evenings in 2000 at my local Technical College. l am hoping to build more bikes with the welding skills l acquired and l hope to gain more knowledge from your website. Regards, Joe.

Hi Maz, great work!
A question about the die. What is the profile of your die? Looks like it is a V formation, or is it concave like the jd2 die?
