BEC Oil Coolers

I'm struggling to place the Aprilia engine oil cooler in the natural air flow. It will get some air, but not a lot! Is this likely to be a problem?

PS - the oil cooler I'm using is bigger than the OE Aprilia one if that's of any relevance.

Mount one at an angle in the sidepod, and vent it outside the pod.

Or a water to oil heat exchanger.

what about just adding a small fan onto it to maintain some airflow and keep it cooler?
