Two stroke air-cooled set up

I am seriously considering converting an air-cooled two stroke engine to MS.
My concerns are sensor selection and usage. I see reference here to using cylinder head temperature instead of coolant temperature. A good possibility there for my set up, all I need is a source. Any known problems with running a wide-band oxygen sensor on a two stroke? I was always told to never use an AFR probe on a two stroke when using a dyno, but that was a long time ago. I suppose a heated O2 sensor could burn off some carbon build up.
Basically, has anyone else done something similar? I'd love to hear from anyone that has attempted this. I can trace down and diagnose issues with EFI systems, but have never attempted a ground zero build of one. This should get interesting.

I used an oil temp sensor for warm up information on my air cooled engine, but here's a source for a head temp sensor: http://www.dakotadigital.com/index.cfm/ ... prd330.htm

Check these two EFI'd RZ350:

The latter one is my own bike which is going to get the Mircosquirt in later 2009 ...

PS: The heated Bosch LSU 4.2 lasts about 80 h in a twostroke application.
At my place this results in some 1 Euro costs per h of usage ;-)
