Looks good to me, that is how I have mine mounted. Make sure you use some loctite on the threads so there are no surprises down the road.

Had one on my 2007 FLHTC, same type on my 2017 FLHTCU and now on my 2019 FLHTCUTG. All mounted the same way.

It never even occurred to me to do it like that. I have both ends on the outside.

Thanks guys from what I am seeing only reason to mount to outside of shifter would have been in bolt is close to hitting engine fins which in my case it seems like there is plenty of clearance
