I have to widen the frame for accept the dual carbs, My idea is to basically just bubble the frame in a 1 foot section But im not sure if i should try to find 90 degree corner pieces to make it, or just bend one piece like a half moon Any input would be appreciated. Thanks |

Don't they make different intakes for tight spots that don't take as much room |

I would wait untill you have Carbs in hand before making mods to the frame. |

if i got you right, you want to bend a peice of tubing like how you would see a peice of conduit passing over another conduit? thats a difficult bend with 1.5" tubing in a 12" legnth! Ya might be better off tryin to miter it (cut 2 45*s) |

Hows about a big radius 180 deg bend on each side to make the proper width? I have a 6.5" CLR die for my JD2 bender. |

Im not really sure what would be best, The ideal thing to do would be take the buggy to someones house that has a bender and figure it out that way. I did the measuring i need approx. 4 inches on each side. |

Same here, I dont want it to look chopped up, Want it to have a nice flow to it like its always been that way Ima try a couple different things today, My one friend has a bender But only has a 1 3/4" die or whatever So we're gonna try a piece of that and see how it looks. |

If your frend has a spare piece of the 1 3/4 tube, bend it, then cut it in half lenght wise and sleeve the dies. I sleeved my 1 1/2 " tube dies to bend 1" sch 40 pipe. ( Tree bars ) Worked great. |
