I put BarCon shifters into 7/8" bars quite often. I usually have to open up the ID. I made a fixture to hold the end of the handlebar concentric to my drill press spindle and then go in about 1.25" with a 3/4" drill.

Nope. Start at the end and work towards the middle. Wrap the last inch with twine.
