I waited almost a month and a half for a set of 12" Nash Midget Gimps and they aren't dimpled or knurled. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can get them to work? I think I may just send them back and get a set of Z bars to avoid the headache.

 

Are you going to run the wires thru the bars? If so no problem, you won't need dimples. My bars arn't knurled either. I places a thin piece of rubber between the bars and the risers and seems to work pretty good. However I recently hit a huge bump at 65 MPH and the bars did move alittle, It was a pretty big bump though I think I got air.

 

That is kinda what I was thinking, drill them out on a drill press. The rubber, like a tube from a bike tire?

 

I got a pair of bars that were dimpled in the wrong spot...I groved out the switch housings so it dosen't need dimples...

 

Tireater,
I've been holing off getting the bars I wanted because they don't come dimpled notching the hand controls BRILLIANT! Damn dude thanks for makin me feel like a stump..

 

I'v heard that bike tire tube works. I just used some thin rubber I had laying around the shop. I used a endmill and slotted my bars, If a endmill is not available I'd drill two holes next to each other and file in between them to make a slot.

 

Exactly what is dimpling?

 

They are indentations on the bottom of the handle bars and they are there to allow the wires to pass threw between the switch housing and bars.

 

daily driver - heard this tip on another board...guy said he did it a bunch of times...I thinkI did it with a 4" Makita and reg. cutoff blade..
Take your time and don't cut too much off - 1/2 hour job...total...
Thinking about it was harder than doing it....

 

I said switch housings...took them off today...I ground the bracket that holds clutch and brake levers...NOT SWITCH HOUSING...
