Yes..................Tape it before you drill...Blue, or green automotive masking tape should work just fine.

And when you mount it to the bike, make sure you use the rubber washers between the fairing, and the mounting tabs.(I believe Randy has the correct ones)
Also use the CORRECT bolts with the sleeves to mount it with...........the sleeves are there to make sure you don't put too much torque on the fairing......it will crack if you don't.
