How are you guys bending your steering sticks? and what materials are you using?

I Used 1" shed 40 and a pipe bender from harbor freight on this last one. I fit a piece of 3/4" inside of it for the top piece for the handle and went from there. The pipe bender doesn't bend all that good without denting the tube slightly and if I went much more it would prolly try and flatten. But it worked out.

The hydraulic bender? And did you bend that lean post as well?

 

[crafty]

Yes, hydraulic. And no. The lean post was a piece bent already from a wheel chair ramp

If you have a muffler shop near you they have a bender and usually I'll help you for cheap or free

There are a few fab shops around me i'd rather have them bend it and i'll weld it together.

Do you have any pics of how far your stick goes underneath your deck?

I just cut the pivot point off and rebuilt it. When I did I went longer than it was .. The longer it is the shorter the throw on the still will be. I leave it as long as I can under my deck
