Personally, I've never filed the locating pins down, as they're there for a reason. Drill the bars instead, and you'll have the job done properly

I've fallen foul to this over the years, hence now why I take the lugs off rather than drill the bars.
My last 2 Fazers unbeknownst to me have had slightly bent fairings, and the controls would have contacted the plastic if I'd drilled the bars. As I said earlier, I've had to rotate the throttle housing slightly to clear.

I've also drilled my bars in the past, then later on wanted to adjust the bars in the clamps, which then messes up the controls position.
I take off the lugs then use a wrap of carefully placed medical zinc oxide tape around the bar. Its grippy tape, and I've never had an issue with controls moving.

I'm not saying you shouldn't drill the bars, because that's the way the factory do it, but its my opinion and experience that's led me down this route as its better for me.
