I think you would be better off ( and a good deal safer) if you use stock parts to return the bike back to it's original spec - rather than use a jumble of incompatible, botched parts to make a fancy-looking death-trap.
In particular, brake parts, like mountings, back-plates, nuts and bolts, are usually made from hardened steel, to be able to cope with the stresses and forces involved, and shouldn't be replaced with unsuitable alternatives, or modded to fit something they shouldn't.
Try a general search on eBay for "Hyosung (Breaking, Spares)" because sometimes the parts you need aren't listed separately. ____________________ Honda Varadero XL125(V8)

Urgh.
I worked on one of these to help out a chumrade.
The rear brake m/c was also seized. We unseized it, but the seals were shot and we couldn't find a recondition kit, so we got a salvage replacement. That was seized too. We unseized it and the seals also leaked, but it sort-of kind-of worked, and fuck it, we'd already sunk another £40 and two week's wait, it was only the rear brake, right? But it was a sod of a pig of a whore to bleed.
Insert much the same convoluted tale of woe for: the horn; the instruments; the exhaust, which led to us removing the cylinder head to drill and chisel it out; the rear tyre and rim; the swing arm; and other parts of which I have only a vague, nightmarish recollection. It was a Sisyphean task to keep unfucking it faster than it fucked itself.
His "bargain" bike cost more than its purchase cost to get through an MOT, then he dropped it and the price of sorting it yet again finally rendered it uneconomical. It's still sitting in his garage, too expensive to repair, but with nobody daft enough to take it on even as a Gumtree giveaway.
They're over-designed, over-priced, under-supported follys. You will never recoup a penny that you put into it and the best thing that you can do is to weigh it in for scrap.
This is helpful, although you'll only realise that with hindsight. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.
