Vintage BMW motorcycle parts

Any idea what model(s) and years these BMW motorcycle parts go to? Value?
They are Pebble Beach winning quality.

Those look like rechromed parts from a mid-70’s toaster. Others more knowledgeable can probably be more specific, but the bottom pic looks like toaster tank inserts.

Don’t plan your retirement just yet.

reach out to Airfinn. He hasn't posted in many years but he collects early BMW bikes.

All /5 parts. No idea on the value, (check ebay), but not anything exotic or rare.

The tank side panels are for a "toaster tank" /5, they are popular but I've never preferred them. I've owned 3 or 4 slash5 bikes, they made them from 1970-73 model years.

Top photo is the key bezel on top of headlight, the nuts for valve covers and triple tree cover plus top of fork ring nuts(?)

What Speeder said.

The middle pic are footpegs for an early R bike. They certainly look pretty and probably worth a couple of hundred or so to an interested buyer

If BMW is anything like Porsche, my guess is these pieces would be substantially nicer than retail.
