Would you like dimples with your order ?

[Auggie_1970]

Hey guys, went to order a set of flanders drag bars B23's and there was something about it not having dimples.

This may be a stupid ass question but for the amusment and edumacation of everyone on this forum, what the heck are dimples on a bar and do I want them..

I would imagine its the effect of bending the bar at the corners too much so it dimples the steel, some people like that some don't.

I thought they were used to locate handlebar controls/grips.

If you want them or not, thats up to you. What they're for is to allow room for the wires to exit the control area.

dimples are another name for knurling the bar.
allows grip glue to have a surface to bond to.
most (dimpled) are only dimpled on the left side. they don't do the throttle side
so the throttle tube won't get hung up.

some also dimple the clamping area. so the bars won't tend to slip.

The only dimples I like to look at are the ones on a fine female ass.

Kenny, you need to keep searching. The fine ones don't have any dimples!

What are those two little indents right above the tail bone? I thought they were for putting your thumbs in for extra grip.:ummm:
