Default mounting point for 2006 back rest

I have a 2006 street glide that i am trying to mount a 52593-09A adjustable back rest. For the life of me I cannot find where to mount the lever. I have the bike totally tore down to frame on a a rebuild and i am stuck on this. If anyone can help on a 2006 with a picture would be greatly appreciated. Its embarrassing everyone else seems to have it done in a hour on different years. Thanks

I helped my buddy install one of these on his 2008 SG. It was a while ago but I believe we installed the adjustment lever to the left side of the frame just under the seat where the seat meets the fuel tank.

Sorry slow to get back. your picture looks better than sheet that came with. A lot that i am finding is 2006 is a odd ball on a lot of parts . I mounted it there , but had to drill another hole since there was only one.
