SELF INTRODUCTION: My name is Devan and I have been around bikes all of my life. I had a motorcycle license before I ever had a regular vehicle license and I rode my bike rain, sleet, snow, or shine. I remember in the early 2000's watching Jesse, Billy, Indian Larry and some of the other greats build choppers. This was the coolest thing I had ever seen, because it first opened my eyes to the possibility of creating my own chopper one day. I am looking forward to starting out!

Does anyone have any experience with the Eastwood #21115 bender? I got it as part of a deal but they don’t offer a 1.25 die for it, so out of curiosity has anyone used this bender and found dies that will interchange from other MFG?

That’s what I’ve been hearing about the Woodward fab dies. I’ll give them a try and let everybody know if they work. Thanks Curt!
