CEV makes a modern, good quality, handlebar switch. It does not have a period appearance. It is fit to many different Ducati models, but only those sold outside of the USA (and likely some other countries) come equipped with the nice three position off/parking/headlight switch (USA models require the parking and headlights to be on all of the time). 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.
