Huh, that's funny! I think I remember those on my old '79 EMS...they fit between the inner and outer fender ahead of the wheel. They sure look cool, but like the 'vert braces I think the benefits are equally dubious. For any newer 900 (1985+ ??) that will be a drill & screw installation. You could rivet/weld, but that will significantly affect access to the components underneath.
If you have a turbo with APC, I don't think that the APC box will clear that brace. Probably you can just undo the APC mounting and drop it down more into the fender. Keep us posted on the install, take pics and try to see (imagine?) if there is a before/after driving difference!
