Oil cooler alternate mounting location and a few other quest

II have a couple of improvements I want to do on my 750 so i figured id throw them all in this one box . I'm wondering if anyone has successfully mounted the 900 oil cooler element on the forks below the headlight similar or the same as Freddie Spencer did on his race bike. If so can pictures and a mounting process, parts list, etc. be provided ?

The 2nd item is the dreaded steering stabilizer, which depends on how successful I am with the 1st request. If I can move the cooler it opens up the space. I think I've got the mounting hardware figured out but stuck on the proper length and style/type of stabilizer. This is for the classic mounting style of fork bracket and frame tube. I'm kinda stuck on that frame location and stabilizer length. The alternative is the linear type mounting on the handlebar and steering stem. I apologize if I sound stupid on getting a handle on this one. I've struggled with it for years and just can't get it dialed in . I've seen so many different possibilities here but its either that whomever was successful has left the forum or the perfect brackets have disappeared. The SOHC was so much easier....

And last is cam chains. I need to find the correct A chain that the Captain recommends for the 750. I have a set for the 900. The B chains are both the same, 82 link, but the A chain has 2 more links for the 900. DS Spares have the chains but I really just need the Morse part number for the 750 A chain so I make sure I get the right one that is recommended by Brent.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
