I have mine mounted on top of the white plastic, honeycomb thing behind the front clip.

You'll have to put some holes in the clip for it to breath through, however.

Criss, try the search function, there has been LOTS of discussion about oil coolers and where to mount them, including IIRC photos.

Good luck

Criss

Try these for a start .. they may also provide more information than just where to mount the thing.

Yes, you do have to weed out some irrelevant ones, but they are there.
