waytwo, oxy/cetylene, no doubt about it.
9/16 is a pretty bold #.
I used 1/2" 304 stainless for my ccbar and is was a mortarforker to bend.
Cold rolled should be a piece of cake, comparatively.
Rosebud is fast, cutting tip is more than sufficient though.
Don't heat too much.
If you see particles launching off your stock, back down a little.
Here's some pix of my 1/2" ss 304 with a tight bend.

You can heat it up enough with MAPP. Oxy/Actyl will be much easier. Cold roll will heat and bend easy. Go slow and if you see sparks your to hot.

I need to update my sig...put on 4 inch risers and 412's.

That ride of yours probably looks radical good and radical different
with the risers and the shox.
Let us see some pix.
