Default handlebar question on not using switches..dimpled bars

building a bike and I want to use some 18" apes....there are better prices on ones that have the dimple/dent in the bars for internal wiring...I don't plan on using any switches...just the front master cylinder and throttle on the one side and the clutch and grip on the other? will using just these parts hide the dimble or do I have to pay up for non dimpled bars?

Dimpled bars are not for internal wiring. Dimpled bars are for stock harley controls. So the wires can exit the housings without being pinched. You would want dimpled bars drilled for internal wiring if you want internal wiring. Otherwise just non dimples bars. The dimples will stick out if not using switch housings. Are you using aftermarket clutch and master cylinder?

The "Dimples" will be seen, but only about a half inch of it. I wouldn't sweet it.
