Has anyone been able to source a set of tire valve stem caps with "MOTO GUZZI", or the Guzzi eagle on them?

I'm not huge into customization, but I think they would be a nice little finishing touch on my V11 Sport...

I got a nice set with eagles. 19 years ago. I have a feeling they are stickers of some kind, atop a normal cap. I'll have a closer look.

Totally agree.

Not anywhere on eBay that I can see. If I had a Honda, BMW, no problem. But I can't locate any Guzzi valve stem caps... I'd buy a set if I could find one...

Quality valve stem caps are important! Make sure they have a seated O-ring and in no way depress the valve stem air release.

Mine came from a Boeing 737 (aircraft content) . . .

I like the ones that have the little plastic loops so they stay on the valve stem. Aerostich used to sell them but I'm not sure if they still do...

Funny.  I lost a cap last time I checked the air pressure.  So I went to Oreilly's and picked some green ones to go with the bike. 

looks cool.  :D

These are actually a bona fide secondary sealing mechanism in the aviation business. As opposed to the automotive world where they are seen as a dust excluder.
