A little bit of small chips and then little smoke ... I just managed to make a slight chamfer.
As I put some grease on the drill bit, I thought it was the origin of the smoke
 
New unsuccessful trial with a carbide round bur

After 30 mn ... less than 10 mm was bored before destroying the bur !!

I will see now how to reduce the diameter of the turn signal tip to 12 mm

The heck are they making French market handlebars out of?

Remains the difficulty to bore the bar to 14 mm to install them.
I made a new try, but without result.
Maybe a better quality drill bit or going to a professional

Last solution has been to turn with a lathe the support and the rubber sleeves at 12mm and to use 8/12 mm threaded adapter

Did you put those bar end lights on a euro model or US model of the R18? The CAN Bus is different on them and the Euro model is probably easier to do it on.
