![]() I looked at the original jd2 plans, and the measurements for hole placement are different than the Bendomatic. I understand that the Bendomatic plans, as drawn, are specifically for 1.25" 4.5" radius, but I didn't know that I would have no idea where to put the hole in the frame plates for the follow bar. I am thinking for a minibike or kart, 1" tube would work. So I won't be using my Bendomatic for 1-1/4" tubing. No less important is the fact that in another year and 3 months, this underachiever I call "me" may not be so inclined to hard work, and the only determination I'll make is how to get a nap in before supper. While he still thinks I won't embarrass him too badly. In another year and 3 months, he'll be a grownup, and I want to be around him while he still thinks I'm "cool". A sort of story of America, on a very small scale.

There are tons of other things I am interested in learning about, but I am sure I will never be able to absorb a small fraction of the available information here. No need to look elsewhere - and I am happy to say I am mostly finished building the bendomatic bender. I found it while searching for tube bender info, which was a search-ender for me. New guy here, and first, thanks for allowing me the chance to participate in your website. I found this site looking for tube bender plans, and looked around to see a ton of great information you have assembled here. Now that I am older and dumber than I ever thought I would be, but with my youngest son nearly grown, I now have a little time to try to learn to weld better would like to learn machine work. I have always worked on my own bikes except for the few times when I needed machine work. into a Paughco rigid frame with bolt-on stuff to fill the gaps, rode it for over 20 years, including several 4000-something mile rides home & back from California. I am not a "builder" though I once "assembled" my '68 shovel engine/trans/misc. ![]() I was riding 2 wheels from age ten starting with a Sears mini-bike, then another, next a '72 Aeromachi X-90, '74 Honda XL-125, '77 Superglide, '68 FLH Dresser (I didn't leave it a dresser for long), currently a '64 Duo-Glide I purchased as a basket in 2003. 64pan NewB Posts: 11 Joined: Sun 5:25 am SELF INTRODUCTION: 56 year old ex-Navy F4 mech from the corn & soybean fields of Illinois, the Navy got me to socal and spoiled me with the weather so I had to stay. ![]()
