Default Adj. Backrest Instructions

Just picked up a used driver adjustable backrest setup, but it has no instructions. Does anyone out there have an instruction sheet that they can E-mail me? It seems pretty straight forward but would like to be sure beforeI screw something up.

I just put mine on. Instructions really very bad in my opinion. Remove seat & place bracket with tab facing forward in the position that most suits your bike/seat. Connect extension to tab & fix extension to the bike using the bolt & clip provided. Many have found the position that it sits to be too far forward. Some have bent rods back, others have used spacers. I actually found on my road king it worked best to put the bracket on with the tab facing backwards. I may need to fashion a brace but for me the position is more tenable.
