My mech actually did the installation and dremel work for me this time. I didn't want to touch the engine bolt when installing these sliders cause if the engine shifts out of place, its easy to tear out the threads when reinstalling the bolt.
Last time when I drilled out the holes for my fairings on my 1098 it took me about 20 minutes each side, I think it was on par with what my mech spent on it today. My 1098 fairings are a prime example of what you are asking. I used a sharpened punch to insert into the frame slider base once it was secured, then test fitted the fairing back on the bike, and applied pressure on the area of the fairing that sits over the sharpened punch.
This leaves an impression/mark of exactly where the slider puck will be going on top of, then drill a pilot hole where the indent mark is using a small sized drill bit. Remember to tape up the area you want drill using painters tape (to prevent paint from flaking off) and then find a stead surface to put the fairing down on, and finish the job with this tool.
(these come in many different sizes, so make sure its just slightly larger in diameter than your slider puck)
then it looks like this when you're done. READY TO CRASH! lol jk
