It will fit fine.
When I fitted 1198 forks to my 916, I researched this and although I am using a hall effect sensor on the rear disc bolts for an electronic speedo, a front mechanical drive will fit. In fact, I had to fit a 30mm (thickness of the drive) speedo replacement spacer to centre the wheel, shown here;
It fits because the machining for the drive is in the wheel not the forks, the new forks don't have the retainer on the mudguard mount to locate the drive but that is only there for positioning when fitting the wheel, the drive is held in place by being clamped between the forks so, you just need to be careful aligning it before torqueing up the spindle nut.
