Scottoiler, front or rear sprocket?

Hello all.
I know that you are supposed to put a scott oiler on the rear sprocket, but is there a good reason (apart from space limitations) that it cant go on the front sprocket?
Thanks

Klause on here has his going to the front on his off road tourer so it does work but that's so it doesn't get snagged in rough terrain, it's generally easier to fit it to the back I imagine. Maybe it's better to have the excess fling backwards from the bike rather than forward onto the engine covers and towards the front wheel?

A lot easier to fit towards the front.

Mine is mounted just above the chain guide on the swinging arm. And drips right onto the middle of the chain.

The pipes will be pointing the wrong way and they'll snag up on the turning sprocket.

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.
