Anyone know where a website where a person can purchase a rebuild kit for a 1981 KZ550A motor out of a KZ550C?

Just for reference, all KZ550C's came with KZ550A motors with 3-phase charge systems, eectronic ignition, and TK-22 slide carbs.
The first year model KZ550A was the 1980 A1, and that one had points and a 1-phase charge system. The 1981 and 1982 KZ550A2/A3 had electronic ignition and 3-phase charge systems.
But I'm pretty sure all 550C's had electronic ignition and 3-phase charge systems, so they all used the A2/A3 type motors.
In 1983, there was a new type of KZ550A motor, but that used the CV type TK-26 carbs with larger intake ports and had more angular fins etc. The 1983 KZ550C4 still used the A2/A3 motor.
