bending tube

So i am gettin ready to bag the front of my ibeam ranger and im going with a tubular design but heres the question i had people say i can use their tube bender but sometime s the guy aint home so would anyone recommend using a torch to bend it or just wait for the tube bender. And what size tube should i use is 1.5 OD big enough or should i go with 2?

1"-1.5" is plenty with a .120 wall. Wait for bender time, torch bending sucks. I recommend trying to lift off a beefed up radius arm not the beam, lift sucks off the beam.

wait for the bender

Make a plate off the side of the frame above the i beam and mount the bottom of the bag on that plate. Next run a pivot center stud off the frame 6" away from the bag, next weld a stud on the radius arm. Create a bar that mounts to the top of the bag and arcs to the pivot point on the frame and then arcs down to the radius arm with a heim that mounts to the stud. Best way to bag an i beam. If i knew how to post pics i would hook it up or if you have an email lemme know and i will send you a pic.

email me the pics and I'll throw them up. I'm having a hard time figuring out what you just said for some reason.

fill the pipe w/ sand completly and tape of the ends w/ duct tape, it shouldnt kink much that way. also a 50 lb bag of sand is 5 bux at homedepot.
