Cafe seat hoops/loops FOR SALE!! $50 +free shipping to USA addresses

Hello I need a seat loop and pan made for a bmw k75 about 22 inches long and 10 inches wide, a kick up in the back would be great. Are you able to do that?
 
The widest loop I can make at this time is approx. 9" outside to outside edge. The length of the loop is not a problem. If you want to go forward with this width, let me know. Otherwise, I'm sorry but I can't help you at this time.
 
Ha. Funny. I actually bought one of these from you about a week ago on ebay before I stumbled across this thread. I'm out of town right now but the guys at the shop received it and sent me pictures. It looks great man. And shipping was like lightning fast. Thanks again.
 
Hey Goose, I know you are only capable of bending a 9 inch hoop outside edge to outside edge, but I was wondering if when bending the hoop you could bend 90 degrees, leave a half inch of straight tube, and bend the rest 90 degrees. This in theory should give a 9.5 inch outside to outside hoop with a very small flat/straight spot at the vertex. I don't know if this is something you would be capable of, but I've been searching all over the web an calling around town and it seems that nobody can produce a 9.5 inch outside to outside hoop. I think I may have contacted you on ebay as well. Let me know, thanks.
 
If not, I'm considering buying the biggest hoop you are capable of making, cutting it in half and welding in a half inch straight piece. Just seems like a lot of work to widen it by 1/2 an inch. I put my tail in a clamp and started to pull it together (it started at 9.75) and by the time I got it to 9.5 inches, it was showing major signs of stress and unhappiness.
 
No, that would be very difficult with the bender. I would suggest 2 options. You could go with the 9" loop and open the legs approx 0.5" or you could go with the option you talked about by cutting and welding a small piece. I think the second option, while more work, would be more symmetrical and look better in the end. Just my two cents, let me know, thanks.
 
I'm also looking for a hoop for my bike, its 8.5 center to center or 9.5 outer to outer. Its an 84 gpz550. Would the 9" hoop look really messed up if pulled .5 inches?
