Default 1980 Starter relay location

Hey everyone, I'm rebuilding a 1980 FLH from scratch and I can't recall for the life of me where to locate the small iceube starter relay. It's got a complete new wiring harness but when I lay it out I have a few places that the starter relay plug will reach and I can't recall which is correct. I want to say I remember them mounting off back of the battery box (near where the older style starter relays mounted)

Any guidance or photos is greatly appreciated. This is one of the last things i have to route on this bike.
