No.
--- Quote ---I was thinking their might be room on the left side if you were able to machine the unit to attach vertically sort of like a street L.

I played around with that concept, but it got complicated fast. I think the other side is a better option.
--- Quote ---One last question what valve were you going to use? The chain saw version or the other "Harley" version?
--- End quote ---
The saw valve is smaller, cheaper and was manufactured with a LOT more quality control than any aftermarket HOG part.
