If you want a manual tube bender, go with JD2.com. It's very nice, and the cheapest of its kind. If you want hydraulic, go the Pro Tools route. Its a little nice, and a lot cheaper than anything else out there. This is what I plan to do when the next bike is sold...

Go buy a race car mag. Flip to the back lots of adds for benders and stuff just like in the back of truckin or MT.

Yup, that would be a "tube" bender. Of course, you could always go the ghetto route a buy a "pipe" bender from HarborFreight or who ever and do it that way. You'd be surprised who I've seen use one of these for subframes! Just make sure you know what the difference between "Pipe" and "Tube" is. And if you got the cash, go with the hydraulic conversion. So easy.

I've got the pro-tools 105. After cost of the dies, it ended up being a bit cheaper than the jd2 bender, and the guys at protools are cool as hell.
