The old maxim of "measure twice, cut (or drill!) once", is appropriate here. Just ensure that you try the bars at different positions to find the one you like best before you start marking out your drilling points. Use a centre punch to stop the pilot drill wandering and you'll be fine. The bar walls are quite thick, (about 4mm), so don't be surprised if it takes longer than you anticipated to make your holes.
Also, I'd recommend wrapping the whole bar in masking tape to protect the anodising while you're positioning and drilling.
