Based on your list of other bikes...................the early K0-K1 units with the K0 hub (narrower) for the best 'look'. Some have used XL350 legs to get the 4-bolt caps but they are taller at the tire.

Do you need an oil-tank?  I have a new unit ready to go with a Mazda-style cap............but could be converted to the standard cap with dip-stick..........Made in the USA by Dave Murre.

It depends on how close of a replica you want to create. You could go with a nice set of original or repro Ceriani forks which would give you mounts for a good selection of proven performance calipers. You could also look at something like GL1000 forks. I want with a set of Betor forks, very similar to Ceriani, arguably similar performance but without the price and added a pair of Lockheed calipers. Looks period, should stop a ton better.
All you gotta do is do what you gotta do.
