The best tool we've come across is an engraving tool.

The one in the picture is sold by WW Grainger, part #2Z557, or the same thing can be bought from Harbor Freight for $10.00.

While we are showing this on a motorcycle install, a large number of our off road customers use this same method when installing larger quantities of beads.

Following is a series of pictures taken by one of our customers Diehl Unger on his Honda GoldWing.
