Yeah, I looked thru the blems but don't know what dimpled (which alot of them are) means.
There is a glossary of the terms at the bottom of their inventory page.
I've repeatedly heard that the average person would never notice most of the blemishes they call out and discount. If it's really bad they probably chunk the shield. I'll post a pic of mine when it gets delivered tomorrow.
Keep in mind you'll end up getting a rock or something hit the shield anyway...
Mine is a blem that I got from their booth at the Denver Show in January. 2 inches shorter makes it easier to see over and the recurve give good wind protection. I am real glad I got it.
As to the blems, if they hadn't been marked, I never could have found them. The first piece of gravel that gets thrown from a tire would make a bigger blem than all of the factory blems together.
