Motorcycle Engine Carriers

I needed carriers to transport 2 vintage motorcycle engines.  I built these to provide easy 2-person carrying.  I've built a few items that required bending, but this was the first time I tried to duplicate bends (working freehand).  I built 2 carriers, one made of 1/2" black pipe and the other is 3/4" pipe.
