You can bend it more than just a little if you have access to a good tubing bender. I've got one that I've pretzelled to get it to the place where it need to go but it needs a fairly big radius to avoid breaking.

On a side note: You really don't need much in the way of the upper rack stays to carry a load. The load is carried by the legs of the rack. The stays just stabilize the rack and keep it from moving. That said, the round stay system on the Tubus (Racktime and others) make attaching the stays easier to install. More degrees of freedom.
