K&S makes a modern, good quality, universal handlebar switch. While it does not have a period appearance, it is readily available and attractively priced. While the switch comes complete with wiring instructions, the following data specific to Moto Guzzi V700, V7 Special, Ambassador, 850 GT, 850 GT California, Eldorado, and 850 California Police models should be helpful.

Gregory Bender's thoughts:
Since the 12-0041 switch lacks a separate parking light function, it is not the best choice for use with the Moto Guzzi V700, V7 Special, Ambassador, 850 GT, 850 GT California, Eldorado, and 850 California Police models.
