Clutch Housing Cover BM- 11.14.7.700.331
Operating Shaft BM-21.21.7.700.306
Clutch cover lower needle bearing (sleeve) for shaft BM-21.21.7.701.501
-ditto- upper BM-21.21.7.700.120
Shaft seal BM-21.21.7.700.173
Well that's what they were when I did a couple in 2016
You can get away with modifying the shaft if you are handle/gentle with a grinder or a lathe.......

Standard BMW part for the XChallenge , item 3 on the diagram :
I see the fiche you posted is for BMWautoparts.net - did you use them and was your experience OK? Quite a lot of peeps looking for a new decent online resource now that Rainbow Motorcycles online fiche has been discontinued......
i found them almost by accident as they had a RHS generator cover on eBay for sale at a third of the RRP . I bought it and they delivered it within 3 days via DHL - so my experience with then is very good all be it not buying direct off their website but via eBay . When i emailed them to ask about the item I got very quick responses so they do seem OK . Hope this helps
