I think the Same as you as to the Orientation. But, I'm a great fan of Checking things. The Resi end / Valve travel a Looooong way, what with the travel within that shock - looking to compress right level with, or perhaps, past the spring / clip interface. And, the Shock mounts don't appear to be 'outwards' much, if at all, from the actual swingarm 'leg'. And, no 'pocketing' for clearance - which, of course, indicates there's no need for such a thing.

A higher-than-expected amount of "fudging" goes on at Mecum and Barrett-Jackson. You'd be shocked.
