    Hey all - Help Please....
    Can I fit a set of non dimpled handlebars to my 1996 heritage??????   I have not looked yet but assume my stock parts are dimpled in design?

    Cheers

    Most likely no.  There is normally NO GAP at the base of the handlebar levers/controls to allow a loom to fit through.  They rely upon the dimple to allow the wires to fit.

    Plan B would be homemade dimples OR drill access holes in the bars and effectively run the cables internal.

    I just fitted new +6" bars to the Sporty and they came with dimples, BUT I had to still drill out a gap to run the cables internally (looks a LOT tidier with Internal wires though)
