Ok guys, typically the oil cooler I'd mounted atop the frame rails in the front and under the hood. Nothing wrong with that but I personally don't want the oil cooler sticking out from under the hood and being a focal point. I was thinking of making some brackets and mounting it in the frame somewhere. If I could get a cooler completely under the hood where out wouldn't be visible that would be neat but prolly not as efficient. Mounting it in the frame where it would stand upright would likely cool the best but could make it vulnerable to sticks and rocks. Any thoughts?

Move the ignition coil to under the tank like I did, and it will fit nicely. And a cooler fan couldnt hurt

Wouldn't it! Let me share what I was thinking. I thought of placing it in front of the engine. Basically when I get my scoops from Josh they would help direct air through the cooler and still supply air to the engine.

Only problem I see with that is that it makes the air that goes to the jug hotter then necessary. I would rather put it under the hood with a fan.

I think I have it sorted, I'll update the build log when I get mounts on it.

This is my favorite setup so far. But can't wait to see what you come up with.

I seriously thought about that too, Josh. I ended up putting it between the down tubes I front of the engine. This is an early pic from before it was permanently mounted but thus is where it is.
