Here is how I remember this.

Over 30 years ago TRW had a brief venture into the motorcycle performance parts business. They made some 836 Honda big bore kits and also had a cam fore that engine. We checked it out and started buying these. TRW decided to abandon the venture, so they hooked me up with the company that made the cams, so we could buy them direct.

While doing business with the cam company, they mentioned to us about these Kawasaki cam they had. Seems a very well known race parts supplier had contracted to have them made, then stuck the cam company with them.

They sent us a pair to check out, and they were great for the small 1015 motors people were running back then. We bought all of them, and they became our K360. When they were gone, there were no more.

When we were helping Wiseco get into the four stroke piston business, they wanted to do the street racer kits like we had. So, besides studs, etc I seem to remember we supplied both the Honda cam and the K360,for a while.
