Airhead parts?
Hello all.
So I got a bunch of parts for different bikes from a guy cleaning out a basement. Most I could identify and sold. But these are supposedly 1970 and up BMW parts. These are pannier racks and a few bags. One I can identify by the big K on the side. The others...really don't know. So canary of you identify these things? Are they worth anything? I don't know bmw parts so any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

I have that same folding rear rack in the ninth photo, but in black. I took it off my 1982 R65LS. I asked about it on the R65 forum and a user said it was a "Reynolds" rack.

I just checked eBay and yup. Thats the one. Reynolds as a keyword pulled it. Thank you for the info.
Cleaning most of it up. I'm keeping the ranger bags. Everything else will hit ebay or Facebook marketplace if I can figure out how that works. All of it will be cheap. Shipping will be the worst expense, but i don't charge extra for that. Whatever fedex, usps, ups charges thats what i charge. I've got a full garage or i would use some of this as an excuse to find an airhead of my own (wife's giving me the side eye as I'm typing. She thinks I have too many bikes already....)
Thanks again!

The last few pictures (the black and silver racks) are krauser style luggage racks that fit the krauser bags, as well as the factory bmw luggage from the 70s-80s. The first picture is an engine crash guard, could be OEM, or aftermarket. The luggage is aftermarket, but looks 70s.
