Wife bought me a set of the Kuryakyn bat lashes LED lights. She saw them on another UC and thought they looked awesome. Trouble I have is it requires drilling a hole in the fairing. To me that's the equivilant of drilling a hole in your face. She's a huge supporter of all the mods I want and have to be delicate here. Anyone installed these? Am I making a bigger deal of it than I need to.
So has anyone pulled the trigger on the LED batlashes. How did it go.
I have a set I'm going to install but I'm freaking out about drilling those holes!
I have LED 7" headlight and running lights that work great, and will also be installing the halo lights.

That's some funny $hit right there!
Now that i"m done blowing coffee out of my nose, There is NO WAY IN HELL i"m drilling a hole in my fairing for accessory lights. As to how you deal with a wife... don't know, I got rid of mine!

If you don't want to drill holes, return the lashes and get the LED mirrors.
I had to drill holes in my inner fairing(Painted to match the bike) for a set of Kury chrome mirror covers that had blinkers...gulp. Once you get over the initial shock and the raging case of the trots...It is fine. Take your time.
I installed my luggage rack on my UC. Drilling that must be the same anxiety. But I wanted it. Masked it off. But still gives me chills thinking about it.
Do you get a rubber grommet for the hole?? Hate to think you put a hole in it just for wires..
Pay attention to what you're doing and do it. No problem. I took delivery of my Ultra at 4:00 PM on a Friday. By 6:00 PM I was home taking it apart, drilling holes, replacing stuff, etc.
