Default Where can I find a place to drill me some holes?

I purchased a set of mirrors off ebay that said they fit my bike. They came with a number of adapters, but none with fit the threads on my F4i. I have a set of mirror block off plates that were on my bike when I bought it. So now I'm thinking about modifying the block off plates to use as mounts.

So basically I want to have a countersunk hole drilled through the bottom of each block off plate so I can attached the mirrors to them, but they will still fit flush against the bike when mounted.

It's a pretty simple job . . if I had a shop. But I live i the city. I'm sure there is somewhere I can go to get something like this done, but I've never had to go to a machine shop for anything. Where do I even go to do something like that? What do I look for in the yellow pages?

That sounds like more trouble than it's worth. Either return, exchange, sell, or dispose them. Just get a pair of used OEM mirrors for cheap & do it right, imo. You're going to end up with mirrors that vibrate too much and won't be worth a damn.
