From the cross-reference at Partzilla the upper triple was used on all 77-80 KZ650s. (the 81-83 650-CSR is different)
EB is probably your best bet. I search by part number first. Then search the Kawasaki part name. then alternate terms.
steering head. steering stem. triple. front forks. etc.
Click the part for the x-ref:

I might have one. Will have to check. Meanwhile search eBay.

There's a front fork triple tree assy for the C1 on EB for about $105T. rusty but looks straight.
and a 650B assy for about $120T w MakeOffer button. or contact the C1 guy & make offer. you never know sometimes.
With a vintage motorcycle sometimes you have to bite the bullet. hee.
EB search = KZ650 front forks
item number for the C1: 262552458123
item number for the B: 184627283877 ...
Description says Twin, so this might be for a 750B, not 650B. verify fitment before buying any part.

Glad you found one. I finally found mine. I have two, shown below. The first one is from a later machine. You can see that the front/back difference between the forks and the tree is quite small. The gauge mount is different from my 650. Not sure about the second one but it has a standard gauge mount and a typical distance between the forks and the tree. The lower is chrome but the upper is black. I painted both trees.
