Looking for the correct Cradle tubing size and the proper die and radius used to bend my own cradle. Looking to get started and i was thinking about replacing the whole cradle for a clean OEM look.

I've got no specs on a whole cradle
i think for that clean looking stuff we gotta call in shaggy
I can ship tube anywhere if needed.
