I think Travisjb is (or was?) running such a setup. Last I heard, the Laminova was definitely exchanging enough heat to keep oil temps in line with water temps (which is perfect), but on the first test he had issues with water overheating and needed more water cooling to make the setup work (bigger radiator, better fans/shroud, etc?). With the Laminova route you're still going to have a sandwich adapter and some risk of blowing an oil line, but you could mount it fairly close to keep the lines short (inside the bay, perhaps on the horizontal bar near the bottom of the radiator). The upside is it's probably superior oil cooling for less weight, and the engine oil would warm up significantly faster on a cold day and stay more stable on e.g. highway trips.
