I've heard these are now "unavailable" in the USA from some, that when 
there's a production run and a shipment they're available for a while then 
sold out, from others.  Either way, they deteriorate over time and you can't 
really run without it (or a substitute.  I had a chance to pick up a new one 
at the AROC convention last year, asking price $75, which made me choke, 
having just picked one up for the Milano for $17.50.  My solution was a lot 
of fun but no real bargain: I bought it (together with the similar, 
"unavailable" windshield washer fluid reservoir for the Milano) in Italy when 
I was there in April and May.  Your best bet may be tagging your order onto 
the "Chopin Listz" of someone going to pick up parts there.  My GTV6 overflow 
tank was less than $US20, and of course they're a little awkward in shape but 
weigh close to nothing.
