Hi Andy,
It's possible I guess to make any part fit, but the big question is will it be worth all of the trouble? You could spend a few $ for the stock bits and just bolt it up or spend nearly as much and still have to rewire, rejet, etc. "Time is money." Just a thought. :-)
The /7 has switches built into the throttle housing if I remember correctly, so you'll have to fit switches as well as a throttle. The Brembo calipers look like they'll bolt up, but piston sizes and bleeder location will require a bit of research to find a good match. Dellortos should work fine once you sort out the jetting and how to fit them. Just off of the top of my head, maybe 30s from a Cal II or something?
Here's a link to a site where you might be able to find the stock bits fairly reasonable:http://www.ibmwr.org/market/Good luck!
