Non-dimpled - Also easy, just requires cutting small slot under switch housing, good idea if your gonna eventualy change your switch housings to something smaller or internal setup. I just put a set of non-dimpled biltwell zed bars on my 48 with stock switches, 1-2 hrs of cutting and making everything smooth with no burs and it looks great.

All depends what you think you'll wanna do later on down the road.
