On fb someone posted below, waiting on translation. Though if adapted for use on a R18 would bet the the bottom of the bags might not clear the top of the FE stock balloon exhaust pipe.

It is a custom rear rack though they used above and modified it a bit to fit. Might be this part on the bmw site.

R 1200 C bags fit fine on R 18. I installed mine using chinese mounting hardware (aliexpress).

thank you, will keep my eye out for a set of used R1200C bags now.
Did you have to modify them or the bag mounting hardware so the bags would fit?
:)
 
I'm afraid the frames from this link won't match
for these bags, the upper and lower tubes are not parallel. they are in the chinese link
 
I drilled 3 holes in each bag so I could install them. If you want to use original fixation system from 1200C bags, which allows tool-less removal, you'll need to build customised fixation hadrware. Or adapt 1200C mounting frame, as they won't fit as-is.
