Default Road king top engine mount

I recently purchased a pair of screaming eagle cylinder heads for my 2012 road king. The heads are not threaded for the top engine mount. I was told by the seller that the head could be drilled to accept the mount bracket. I compared my factory head to the screaming eagle head, and noticed there is no boss casted into the screaming eagle head to drill the holes in. Has anyone drilled one of these heads successfully?
