replacement for C1095 rod
(OP)
Hello
I am restoring a 29 Indian Motorcycle. The seat hoop was originally made from 5/16" C1095 rod, was trying to stay true to original however cannot find any unless I want 1000 feet. What would be a good equivalent? I was told by someone that has made a few years ago with C1095 locally heated area to be bent and did not heat treat after and did not have any issues. The sharpest bend is 90 degrees.
Thanks for any assistance

Thanks for info. Yes it is a 29 101 scout.
What bikes are you into?
Have already been to the local spring guy here. Smalltown answer "yeah we can order something"
With the 4140 annealed would it have to be heat treated? I have worked a little with 4140 found it to be brittle in the heat treated condition.
