Default Drilling Handlebars

Did a search and didn't find much. I just picked up a set of Khrome Werks bars and they are not drilled for the wires. Anybody ever do this?

Lookin for some advise.

Thanks!

Do a search on drilling handlebars, there are threads already out there like this one:

Keep in mind that like the post says, you may lead to a rust problem where the bars are drilled, you have to make sure the holes are perfectly smooth or else run the risk of shredding the jacket on the wires that run through the holes, then you can wind up with a short or other problems.
