It really depends on what you plan to bend & how much.
I bent my cage & tube tray using a $200 cheapie hydraulic bender ( cause im a tight ass )
Just buy a good former ( i have a few DAWN's ) they bend fine, the only thing they do is put a small dint where the roller is but there is ways around this. Just use some next size up pipe cut horizontally in half, between the roller & your pipe & presto no dint in your pipe.
A Dawn bender comes in a kit around $1600 I think, Sam & Tony use a speedworks which is so much easier to use & a lot more accurate but i dont know what there worth.
Depends how much you want to spend.
And ask away, most are not like PIRATE ( use the search button ) around here ;)
