Mount sport bike mono-shock upside down?

[HollywoodMX]

I have a 07 (iirc) triumph speed triple mono-shock that has a remote reservoir ala rubber line and side banjo.

Can it be mounted upside down (at a 45 degree upside down angle vs 45 degree right side up)? I have seen other mono-shocks mounted upside down on custom builds but read mixed responses on the ole interwebs, although most were for off-road trucks and a lot of people seemed full of shit.

I can mount the mono-shock a few ways, but if I mount it upside down I have super easy access to adjusting the pre-load and saves me from modifying the frame.

Orientation should be of no consequence for that damper.

that depends on it's internal build....if it's a monotube shock it won't matter, if it's not a monotube design shock then flipping it upside down will change the way it responds to loads

It's obviously monotube.

Ok thanks! Saves me some work, which I need.
