That is where I mounted mine. It works fine for me. Be sure that the
hoses are not rubbing on any sharp metal parts or you will soon lose a
lot of oil very quickly. Better still, wrap the hoses with some sort of
rubber where they go through the shock tower.
I mounted the cooler so that the hoses enter at the top. It is probably
better to have them on the bottom so that you can drain all the oil when
you change it but it makes clearance less and you may have a problem
with the fittings encountering road obstacles.
