If you swap the exhaust to the straight pipes of the Classic, you can use the OEM Classic brackets (they are a bar supporting the bags from underneath, just above exhaust, while the bags bolt into the fender at the top). The R18 Pure & R18 Classic are the same bike with different accessories, so you can use most of the parts of the Classic on the Pure with minimal effort.Hi, Has anyone determined a way to mount the OEM R18 Classic bags on a FE R18? I am considering Easy Backets (link).
The challenge with the Pure is the exhaust. It is much taller than the exhaust used on the other R18 models. So, you need to either raise the mounts on the fender, or use a shorter bag to clear. The OEM bags for the Pure were much shorter and the mounts raised the connection on the bags a bit above the fender to ensure exhaust clearance.
