Good day,
I am looking to source the gas tank cap (in the picture below) for my brother V7 in Italy.
Any chance anyone has one to sell.
Thanks

Out of stock at present but expected soon. No lettering though.
I've never seen the lettered type in your photograph, very nice it is too.https://www.eurojamb.com/products/moto-guzzi-750-ambassador-850-eldorado-fuel-gas-cap?variant=1194291593237

The reproduction caps have an issue that makes them marginally useful/useless. The "crossbar" that rotates and secures the cap to the tank is spring metal on the original. On the repros it seems to be plain, mild steel and after one use it bends and doesn't clamp the cap tightly to the tank, resulting in leakage. I've fixed a number of customer's repro caps by installing a used original crossbar, then they work fine.
