I'm trying to draw a realistic set of waterpipes...the problem is they are not all straight, they curve and bend and must maintain the color gradient when they do this.
This would work if I could add a color gradient to a line that I bend, but lines don't seem able to have a color gradient applied.

Yes you can fill curved color gradient using Intearcative Mesh fill tool (M), You can edit control anchor points in the interactive mesh.
Alternatively you can use blend tool where you can blend separate colored lines which and then blend them with many intermediate lines, giving effect of gradient color.
