If its not braced then try it out with a buddy on the pedal whilst you watch the effect on the assembly. The more solid the mount the greater the feel.

The rotors and calipers are already in place and the system is bled, goes in about 3/4" then engages. Feels like a Mercedes when you step on the pedal. Very little flex, I had my friend watch. The drivers' side I welded the piss out of with gussets which you can't see in the photo and the mounting points are the stock gas tank holes (wide footprint). It'll be fine.
