Also, had you considered why there are two slots in the fairing? Could it be that they are there to reduce a low presure buildup behind the fairing nosecone at speed, which may possibly affect airflow over the air intake or around the vertical cylinder, and that diverting or blocking this air stream may have adverse aerodynamic effects elsewhere?

I wouldn't consider a second oil cooler necessary at all unless you have done a lot of work on the engine (big bore, high compression, porting, carburation etc). Just my opinion, of course.
