990s are pretty powerfull brakes. Powerful enough to snap off welded on lugs, and to flex frames out when you pull them. I'd be pretty sure the bolt on mounts will slide round eventually. As said before; best solution is a front fitting brace bar (like a horse shoe). That should solve it. :daumenhoch:

I've just spotted theseon another thread. What about something like that? :
I forgot all about them! They should help if the mounts ever moved. Less work than knocking up a brace & it keeps things looking cleaner (possibly)
oldschoolace:
All done :daumenhoch: Just need to screw the 990 mounts in and give em a whirl.
Went for a brushed finish rather than polished as i think it will suit the bike better :)
