Web cam 118, 119, or 110 grind should be a good bet.

407 / 410 Lift fast road cams are what you need.
New ones available from Yoshimura, PSP ( Andrews spec from Pitstop Performance) . Web cams ( Orient Express and Schnitz Racing ) etc.

No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationNo eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configuration ]

Old Kaw cams are like gold! Kenny Harmon, Andrews, RC Engineering, Pops Yoshi,
.395" - .410"
Here you go! $250 on ebay right now! Taking offers too. Call him direct, he deals with his business cheaper than ebay.
Andrews 2X drop ins, no valve bucket modification needed, stock type piston domes, (I do see 72mm on yours)
Johnny Bova in Ohio. (Johnny's Vintage)       OINK would get $400 for these!

No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationAll right? I have pasted ebay links in the past!
Now I have no clue?
I tried 2 times with the links?
Just search Andrews 2X Kawasaki cams on eBay, it will come right up.
Someone better buys these!
Hey Lewisj your 1-1/2 hours away, John is in Wadsworth.

I'm done and selling out! Or I would have just made the deal now.

Looked up the spec on the 2x, very similar to the RC 388’s I bought a couple years ago. Looks like a good cam for a stock 1015 bore with 10 to 1 compression.

Running Andrews 2X in my 1075 right now...runs great and did not need to go crazy on fancy valve train mods...One caveat is if you intend to kickstart and are planning more than 10-1 compression, maybe something with a little more overlap...it's a bugger to kick
