For those who have built, or had built, roll cages for their RZR's, what diameter tubing did you use and what bend radius. I have a chance to pick up a JD Squared bender with some die's but want to make sure the bend radius will be right.

Thanks.

i have the JD Squared model three and use 1.5" with 4.5" CLR. also use 1" die not sure of what CLR though. i bought a 1.75" die and never use it. all of the jeep and UTV cages i have been using 1.5" mostly and 1" for gussetts.

Thanks!

Is the JD Squared pretty easy to use?

not too bad, keep everything lubed. just throw away the degree wheel and layout your bends with marks on the tubing. this is why you should have paid attention in math class, because you will need that math now.

The stock cage is 1.75" .The bungs that you can get to match the original ones are for 1.75" O.D. .095 wall.

Would you stay with 095 or go thicker?

Also, refresh me on the math :-)
