just wondering what brake's were on the production pro performers in 88. look like nippons and a different u-brake. also don't know what lever's came on them.

I'm not sure about 88's but I know the 87's came with 990's & 880's with RX 3 levers. A friend of mine got a new one. I think 88's were the same.

my 88 properformer was equiped with 990 rears with the fronts being the dia compes with the little guy riding the bike engraved. levers were rx3's

the spec changed a few times in '88. coulda been any combo of:

D/C 990s or Axiom U-brakes.

D/C tech 7 (or were they 77s by then?) or rx3s.

i think the fronts were Nippons/883s in all cases.

yes nippon 883's on the fronts in all cases that I know of

Yeah rears were either 990 or Axiom. I'm still looking for an Axiom U-brake if anyone has one to sell.

I have a 100% stock 88 Pro Performer. It has the fs880 on the front, with a 990 on the back, with rx-3 levers. I have seen them with Nippons on the front and with the Axiom rears. I think they used whatever was available at the time.

ok, so since i have a white 880, i'm going to bolt it on.

i have a couple of silver 990's, and a white acs gripper coming in the mail. the gripper, i won't have to paint at least.

an axiom would be nice to get, but doubt i can ever get one of those.

those rx3 levers, i never see on ebay, in white. i'd really just prefer ones beat up.

thanks guys for the help
