Use a leaf blower for a bellows effect. A hardwood fire can be made hot enough to make steel pretty soft.

you dont actually need a torch to heat it.....just make sure the sand is packed really tight when you bend it around the form......every frame or bars ive made ive just bent cold (unless the radius will me close to a 45 i wont even bother sanding the tubing).....just wedge and walk it around the buck :wink:

How do you like my mock up of a snow ski sissy bar? Do you think it is tall enough?

i wouldnt use conduit(some will....but its for holding wires and that about it I.M.O.) 8' section or 1/2" o.d. .065 e.r.w. steel will be about $5 and will take abuse as well(thats what stock sissy bars were/are made of from)
good luck and post some pics when you make it
