Sorry can't specifically help...I have Ohlins forks and those pinch bolts are easier to drill.

Have them fully torqued to the proper fitting. Mark where you want to drill. Remove them one at a time and drill. Reinstall.

Drill them so you tie them together is what I have seen on the S.

okay, i must be slow. I need pictures????

the pinch bolts are recessed on the s1k? I don't see a way to safety wire them without drilling into the fork body itself??

I going to pick up a set of torx with a taller head, im not drilling into the fork body..
