If you use a Spike-style radiator tray and make sure you don't have the inlet scoop blocked and you have adequate exhausting over the top and out the back of the nose piece I don't see why you couldn't get it to work.
I know it's not the same but I have the cooler for my old oil-cooled GSXR mounted in a Spike tray under a TQ Fiberglass nose and I've yet to have a single cooling issue. It's been proven that a properly shrouded and ducted radiator is way more efficient than one that's just hanging in the breeze...
