Pods or stock air box?

There are a couple of breakers here also. If the ltd is no good, I can give you the links and you can try them.

If I recall, any Kz550 using Tk22 carbs use the same basic airbox with some variations for Canadian models.
There are several Ltd versions of the Kz550.
He can use an airbox from 1980-83 Kz550C1-C4. They used mechanical-slide TK22 carbs.
He can probably also use the airbox from 1980-82 Kz550A1-A3 (standard, but not the '83 A4).
He can probably also use the airbox from a 1981 Kz550D1 (Gpz).
There are also Canadian models with a slightly different airbox, but they would probably work too.

The shaft-drive Ltd models used larger, CV Tk26 carbs.

I have so much to learn from you, Loud. You’re like a carb Jedi
