If you just want better brakes....

Since the Viggen and the 900 are worlds aparts, I can't see how you would get the parts to fit your '88. It is possible that an adapter bracket could be manufactured, but I can't see that working since you are probably going to end up with a problem of two parts wanting to be in the same space at the same time. Aftermarket calipers from Brembo, Wilwood and AP Racing are all designed to give plenty of room for adapters.
If you just want better brakes, I have a set of Wilwood 4 piston calipers and larger 298mm rotors fitted on my 900 using a custom made caliper mount adapter and brake hat. The system works very well, but requires 16" wheels. The Aero rims may fit, but I have a set of 16x7 Panasport FS minilites that look great (IMHO).
If you want some info on how I did it, let me know.
