 Does anyone on this list have the capability to bend 5/8" OD tubing for
a backrest? I need to replace the the stock Triple A backrest with one
that is set back by about 2" for a thicker pad. Rigid has a $350 tool
that will do it but my pockets aren't that deep. I'm also having great
difficulty in locating anyone in the Wash. DC area that can do this.
