everything is possible.
Using front discs and rim is for sure not a big issue. This starts if you want to use the radial brake calipers. These will require a special adapter.
If you can get the whole fork you`ll have the problem that the fork tubes will have such a large diameter that you won`t be able to steer unless you cut off the front edge of the tank.
This I know as I have a Laverda fork laying here. Next to that the geometry of the triple clamps is probably different, the steering axle will be too long etc etc

If I can remember, the "bucefalo" is a street figter, without fairing, so you'll need a complete front suspension, I mean both triple clamp, forks at least, and a useful rim, brakes, handles and so on.
If you have such parts, it'll be possible to do, just adapting the steering axle (maybe you'll need only a pair of bearings and a spacer, otherwise... :banghead:

Se mi ricordo bene, il bucefalo è uno street fighter, senza carene, così avrai bisogno soprattutto delle piastre di sterzo e degli ammortizzatori, più la ruota completa (basta che ci vada), i semimanubri e tutto quanto.
Se hai tutto il necessario, dovrai solo adattare il perno di sterzo (magari bastano 2 cuscinetti adatti e uno spessore), altrimenti... :banghead:

I will try my other fork one day and I also have an old dented tank to test with. The edge needs to be cut away and then rewelded. Maybe in summer ...

my problem about axle is that i have a rim 4.5 with 17mm of innner diameter but i think i can use only axle from 907 or m 900,the other are not long enough,but as you said i noticed that this type of axle are 20 mm of diameter :banghead:

.......
i hope i don't have to machine the hole of my rim :smoke:

Demon the problem it's not the bearing but the rim's hole.....
give me notice when you check your rim...

All early 17 wheels on 851/SS/907/888/Monster have same axles,
20mm front & 17mm rear.
But locking nuts on my 907 is 24 mm & 22 on my Monster....

Think the bracket from a Monster will fit, not so sure about the caliper fitting.
