Failing that, would get the stud part no, from Kawasaki.com, and then google the part number.
Need any help with using kawasaki.com?
Or about removing the broken off stud from within the head?

Thank you for the link I am very new to finding these parts. Still figuring out the best sites to use and what not. I would really like to find an affordable 4 into 1 header for it, but it seems like they have stopped making exhaust for these old GPZs

Regarding exhaust systems, seems like a good many options exist on ebay.

Don't do it! The chances are very high you will screw up the head. Take it to a machinist and have them remove it. They will not charge very much to do this, and you won't end up with a damaged cylinder head. Ed

Follow the above advice and save both bucks and grief. If the drilled hole is not straight or there is too much corrosion the easy out will break as you try to remove the broken stud. The machinist has the proper tools for this vintage part repair.
