    I need handlebars custom bent using a correct sample for a restoration . Does anyone know of a shop that can do that type of work?
     
    Where are you? There's a place here in Christchurch NZ that do it, minimum of 5. Apparently it's the tight bends and under 7/8" diameter that makes it tricky

    I would imagine that general spacing,knurl spacing , bend spacing, bend diameter , degrees of bends, and the all important tube clocking are all very tricky, otherwise I might try. I think I would go through a whole bunch of material before I got the hang of it and the bending equipment would set me back about $500.

    the bars are 7/8" .
    Located in the USA.
    That's real far away but doable if I want to spend the effort ,time and money. Is there any web, contact info?
