I am looking for a 1" diameter U-Bend with around a 4" radius for a mini bike exhaust project. Anyone have any ideas? I have some bicycle handlebars that I could cut up but they are 7/8" and I would like to stay with 1" (or a smidge bigger)- Anyone happen to have a source?

Back in the late 50s I used black pipe for my mini bike and gokart projects. It would screw right into the head and would take a beating from all the crashs.

we used to get headers for our go-karts... maybe do a search for go-kart header for briggs and see what comes up...

Harleys come with 1" handle bars I believe

i have handlebars from a Harley that are 1". I'll let ya have them for shipping cost. they are Sportster buckhorn style with plenty of curves.

its a little bigger but summit has 1-3/8" U bends.

Classic Tube (http://www.classictube.com/index.asp) carries mandrel bent tubing from 3/4" to 4" in diameter.

try one of the cheep chrome bar/ shop stools i think they are 1" od. lots of bends

I found a set of harley bars, The bends are not quite sharp enough, I will look at some of the other suggestions posted.

Thx.

buchhorns are similar to this. http://www.sideroadcycles.com/americanmotorcycles/Handlebars/More_HD/B1SpringerBuck2.html

The bars I used are buckhorns, Not a sharp enough radius. I'll have to look at other options.
