Hey KZriders,

New here and new to bikes and could use some help. I have a 1983 KZ750 Spectre I'm building up right now. After taking my cylinder head to the machine shop to get some stuck buckets off, I found out that most of the cam screws (13/15 or something like that) were also broken inside. So with both stuck caps (trust me we tried everything and still 4/8 wont come off!) and $250 dollars of screws to drill out I figured that cylinder head isn't worth it anymore so I'm looking to get a new one as used range from $100-200 on ebay. As Spectres are relatively rare I was wondering; if other KZ750 models have compatible cylinder heads?

Would very much appreciate the help, I've tried Google and Wiki and the whole sorts with no luck.
Thanks! :)
- Brandon

Any four cylinder KZ750 head will work.

If you haven't bought a new head yet I've got one you might be interested in. It's from a 1980 or 1981 KZ750E.
