It is ages since Luka mentioned the slow react clutch. Did you sort it out? It sounds like the clutch plates are not releasing easily enough. Oil in the clutch issue? Is it the same when properly hot? Does it relaease completely when engine not running?

Ummm ... Luka's post was about oil coolers for SFC's ... the clutch thing dates back to 2016!!
If it were me, Luka, I'd leave the oil cooler - they don't need them.

When looking for a replacement cooler for the Motodd rebuild I ended up buying a Mocal unit from the UK. Nice quality and competitive price compare to what else was available.
Nice job on the rep Ludi. Wheels would look better in silver IMHO.

... replica SFCs with oil cooler are rarer than real 750 SFCs. On 750 SFCs the same oilcooler was used as on the triples.

I used an Earles cooler on my race bike. Without going and measuring it, I think it was a 41300 on this page:

Looking at their site now, they now sell curved coolers which are also thinner, which would be better:

Note that the standard Laverda type with the fittings at the bottom apparently have internal tubes which prevent the coolers from emptying out. If you use an aftermarket cooler, fittings should go at the top unless you know it is internally as per the factory one. I mounted mine with fittings at the top and 180 degree hose ends so that the lines ended up neatly run behind the cooler (also handily blocking part of the airflow one could argue). It did usefully lower oil temp.
