Rich,
ZED-PARTS.COM sell exhaust valves for £37 each.
I believe inlet valves are still available rom Kawasaki at £25 each.
Profiled valves are much better though, so are worth more.

: While there I made some enquiries as I have

: rough prices and got the answer as follows:
:
: A 1 off set of 6 would work out at about £58
: each valve (gulp), but larger batches would
: produce some savings. 5 bike sets would be
: about £28 per valve, 15-20 sets would be
: about £14 per valve.
:
: These prices are for good quality profiled
: valves (allegedly) better than the
: originals.
