I agree.
I was planning to flip my OCS as an experiment, but I noticed the hose from the crankcase cover to the OCS was kinked at an acute angle.
Given the location of the mounting plate, the OCS is positioned at a much more natural orientation in the "unofficial" position. After riding over 14,000 miles without any problems, I don't see a good reason to change the position now.
I much prefer to burn the captured fuel, rather than dump it. However, I don't think it will harm
anything to mount the OCS either way.
