Hi, the first picture is of an ignition switch bracket which attaches to the nearside rear of an air box on a 500 road or trail morini (350 ?), next is a bracket which clamps on the steering damper body, number 3 I don't know and the last photo is of the centre stand stops that are fixed to the fram...
