Does anybody know if any panniers fit the Factory that has the RSV tail unit on it?

You need something like this detachable base plate from Hepco and Becker.
Then you can mount almost anything.

I've got one of those for my 1100 factory. I bolted a givi monokey plate to mine so I could put topbox on for a trip to Northern Ireland couple weeks ago.
Ended up having to post the topbox back as it almost came off the bike, it's held on by the seat cowl lock which isn't really strong enough for heavy weights. My topbox and contents maybe 10/15 kg. the lock was all bent I had to hammer it straight.
I'd recommend the rack for small bags etc. I won't be using mine again that's a fact.

Thanks for that. I had been thinking of using one just for that. Better I know now.
How was touring on the Tuono?
It was a great trip to be honest, weather was perfect which always helps, did just over 1200 miles in 5 days but one of the days we watched the north west 200 road racing so didn't rack many up that day.
Couldn't fault the bike, is comfy and did everything perfectly. Only criticism I have is the back end is rock hard, I set the sag as per normal and just can't seem to get the damping right. That's more user setup than bikes fault though.
Hepko and Becker also make side panniers as does krauser, I think I will end up getting a Ventura rack and one of there bags,
