That's a 'drum brake assembly'..... a rear brake.
That's a bit harder... it's a 'lower fork boss or casting' on an upsidedown fork. It could also be described as a 'front caliper mount' or various other terms to that effect.
That's 'bodywork' or more specifcally (from center top and moving clockwise) ' a gastank, a rear tailpiece or possibly rear fender, side panels, and front fender'.

Hi BuZz
also to you thank a lot. I changed Mintbread's proposal (lacquer set) to your's (bodywork) resp. painted bodywork. "Lacksatz" means "all painted parts". Unfortunately you can buy such a "Lacksatz" mostly as customized, but it mustn't be customized to be a "Lacksatz".

Hi jmillheiser,
not at all
the website I took the links from is going to become a new design with a lot of new functions. Today it is only in German an all about 180,000 spare parts are placed and described in German language. Rare visitors from foreign countries are able to understand German - per day one or two parts are sold to an non-german-speaking country. Meanwhile our online-market is about three and a half year old und all associated dealers got some experience with shipping parts worldwide. We think that the time has come to let bike-teile.de become international (bike-teile.com). On the one hand - on the other by far not every dealer is able or willing to translate any inserted part into English language. Therefore we are planning to include a translation tool, so that people around the world can understand what parts are offered. Of course there will be BMW-parts but as well parts from 70 more motorcycle and scooter brands as well.

It is a pity that I found this topic late, we could be useful to each other.

Still, that could be useful. If you guys need any translation from/to Russian and French, shoot me a PM and I'll see what I can do for you! it's not like insuring a mere motorcycle) ahead of schedule, which means I have some free time on hand.
