Default FXR side covers

Hi all,

I bought a set of Arlen Ness side covers for my '87 FXR the problem is that there is no hole for the saddle bag supports. I was thinking of drilling a couple of holes and hoping I can get them to line up. Just wondering if there are any tricks to marking the plastic. I cant really get in behind there to mark it with anything.
