Here is few engines: http://porvwoo.fi/Engines.php
I have 36-1 triggers and bracket for Ford vr sensor. These comes to fuel pump bolts.
One idea, if You want use singleport heads, how about use V-pattern injectors, which sprays both cylinders.
It might work.

This how the 911 guys do it. the Bocsh coolant temp sensor is flat on the bottom. The bug motors have rather large rocker boxes, so most M$ed bugs just drill and tap a hole in the side of the rocker box to measure oil temp in the head. I'm told this works well. I'm not so sure a motorcycle would have room for that. The world is wide open in terms of M$ using different sensors. Pretty much anything you can find at a wrecking yard or online will be able to work with it.
The other thing that is sometimes done is to simply screw a intake air temp sensor in the ducting on an air cooled motor. I don't like this because on cold days it would never get out of enrichment.
We ended up ditching the air temp sensor for two thermocouple style aircraft CHT probes, they are very much like an EGT probe with a washer on the end. This worked well once we placed them away from the exhaust ports. Warmup time was about the same as a water cooled motor. You may not want to go this route because you have to add the EGT card, and do some hex editing to make it all work. If i had known about the head oil temp sensor method i would have gone that route because thermistor type sensors are much simpler to use.
