Drummin's suggestion is good. I will mark a line, and then bend it with my bender in my vise. If your are running a disc
drum setup, I would suggest a 1/4 inch line to the rear drums, and a 3/16 line to the fronts. Stainless is a bear to flare, and for a first timer the steel lines are ok. I practiced some before bending my first set like you, and patience paid off
