Looking for reed valve caps

Does anyone here have a set of KZ1000 J engine reed valve caps that they'd be willing to part with?

I went to check the valve clearances on my "new" CSR and found that both caps are cracked. :angry:

PM me with the price if you have some to sell. Thx.

APE might sell replacement covers without the emission holes, for your year.

Yeah, they do, and they look nice. But I was hoping to get something a little more, uh, cheap. :whistle:

The APE's are $51.

Anyone know if the reed valve caps from a KZ750 Spectre would fit on a KZ1000 J engine?

I'm looking at this set on EBay.

Check the part numbers from www.buykawasaki.com with those and the ones that fit your need. If there's the same, then they'll fit. B)

Yeah, I already did that, and they aren't the same. But that doesn't necessarily mean they won't fit. I doubt they will fit, but I was hoping maybe someone else could tell me for sure.
