I've discovered that my boy's 125's exhaust is made of Unobtainium (Chinese and more than 6 months old...) and I've had some "no bid" and "painfully high bid" from local workshops...
Is 25mmx2mm ERW tube bendable in the cheap hydraulic benders, presumably packed with sand and the seam on the inside of the bend? It needs one 90-degree (exiting the head) and a few gentler swerves around frame tubes etc. before I weld on brackets etc.
If he can afford it, would stainless be way more difficult as well as posher?
Thanks,
