That's easy-enough to fix with a drillpress and an angle-grinder............Cams are different so a GPZ cam might have too much lift for the pistons in the other engines.
The best way to check is to look up the part number for your bike and then look up the part numbers for the other models. Yeah, it's time consuming but it's really the only way to be sure.I was mostly curious for aesthetics. The bike I'm about to buy has a lot of small fasteners and pieces that are rusted and may need to be replaced. I was just curious if things like brake rotors, shocks, and chrome pieces were similar across the range of 550 Kawasaki models in '82. I have so many questions because this is my first bike and I know squat about specifics like this.
Basic fastners you can get anywhere but like the Dr. said, pour a cup of tea, grab a pencil and paper and start comparing part numbers. I believe most of the infrastructure like frame, engine and forks were the same, maybe the LTD had longer tubes and shorter shocks, but there's really only one way to find out.The best way to check is to look up the part number for your bike and then look up the part numbers for the other models.

Probably most of the parts are the same. But as I recall the LTDs had different gear than the others. There's no easy solution other than rolling up the sleeves and comparing part #s.
