Next mock up the grips and controls to get their radial position on the bars, mark where the holes need to be. Make sure to check lever positions at the same time as there can be some interference between the throttle wiring harness and the front brake lever (you only want to drill the locating holes once ).
Next take everything back apart and mark the final hole position. I measured the distance between the end of the stock bars (where the bar end weight contacts) and the center of the hole to get the "length". I used a punch to mark the hole and a .136" drill bit. Note the holes need to go through both sides of the bars, so need to be 180 degrees apart. I used a V-block on the drill press to ensure this.
