Is the key in the picture below OEM?
I assumed it would say Motto Guzzi.
No. https://www.ilco.us/ilco-enThey do.My 2012 Norge purchased used in 2018 came with two original keys.
Yeah I'm annoyed with myself because I didn't ask to see the keys when I inspected the V7 for you.How did the seat cover look to you? False alarm on my part?Since you are new to motorcycling I expect you will soon develop arm and leg positions that are comfortable for you. Ride at least 500 miles before changing the seat construction. For instance, I found MG's firm, flat "1.5 size" seat more comfortable than the soft stock seat because I wasn't squeezed into a "bucket" behind the fuel tank.RTFM. At least twice.Your jaw will probably be sore for a few weeks from grinning so much. It'll go away in a few decades.
Two as pictured. I'm going to send one to Keys4UrRide.com to make two spares. They were able to duplicate the Norge transponder key for just $50 plus shipping. Fast and good quality.AF1 has OEM style keys https://www.af1racing.com/OEM-Moto-Guzzi-Key-Blank-GU32735510My spares won't be OEM style.
Oops. Here's the correct key blank and it's $40 cheaper https://www.af1racing.com/OEM-Moto-Guzzi-Key-Blank-2B003994I'm pretty sure AF1 cuts keys.

Is there a more narrow seat option for the V7 III? That's what I would really like to change.
The VIN should be somewhere in your purchase paperwork and should match the number at the pictured location. As I recall the engine number is down by the engine oil fill opening and they will also want to take pictures of the emissions stickers under the seat.
I need to get a VIN check done to register the motorcycle, since it came from California to Oregon. I searched online, but can't find where the VIN is located. Will someone please enlighten me? 🤷Update: Is the VIN the same as the chassis number?
Yes on mine. If you look behind the head light, there is a metal plate with VIN number, but that number is hard to read. Next to the plate is the frame number as indicated in your picture from the manual. On mine, the VIN is the same as the frame number.
