Default Rear Seat Mounting whole

I am trying to mount a rear seat pillon to my 06 FLHX. It has an FBI rear fender. There has never been a rear seat on this bike. I am looking for a template for the location of the rear seat. I called Corbin which is who manufactured the seat. They said to call Harley. My local shop was closed today so I am looking to the vast knowledge of the members of this forum.

Can't you just hold it up there and mark it?

The mount is under the seat so I can't see it. I tried to mark the back of the seat on measure in from there but I don't want to take a chance in getting it wrong.

Maybe stick a piece of crayon or chalk in the hole and just ease it down enough to leave a mark?

Is it a fender or a fender cover? If its a cover remove the rear wheel and use a small drill bit to drill up through the hole in the original fender.

If you don't have the stock seat, borrow someone's and use that to mark your location. the corbin will use the same mount location as the stock seat.
