If you go with the Kury. Replace the cheap keeper on the clevis pin on the brake side. Mine lasted 400 miles and the pin fell out at 60 mph. That will get your attention in a hurry when that brake lever hits the ground. It looks like a thin key ring and mine was looped all the way on. Not sure how it came off or broke. The quality looks good on the rest of the pieces and installation is a snap.

Mine did. The only thing I needed to add was my original shift arm. The shifter peg is similar to an ISO.

Uhhh.....my kuryakn forwards are rusting after two months of being under a cheapo bike cover and being exposed to rain.....I could understand rust showing up at any point where there are threaded ends for bolts (maybe tightening the bolts took off some chrome) but NOT all over the rods for both the brake and the shifter.....chrome bumpers on cars go many many years exposed to elements.....Chrome should not rust in two months from the occasional rain....I AM VERY UNIMPRESSED!!!!

You don't mention where you are living, but I imagine it is on the coast. Most of us have a garage, shop or shed to store our bikes in. I've had a bare to the metal rod chop in my shop for 18 years without a spec of rust. A buddy of mine lived on the CA coast, without a garage, for 6 months and his Toyota pick-up turned into a rust bucket.
You didn't just very recently make a similar post, did you? I just read a similar compliant today. One bad apple....
I do suggest a better cover, or better yet a garage or shed. Your leaky cover is probably letting in the moisture and creating a suana for when the sun is shining.
