Ciao e welcom!

What year & model designation? 1983 Z550-H2 or something?
Since you're in Europe, I'm not sure if this is applicable or not.
I looked up a 1983 KZ550-H2 (GPz) at Kawasaki.com (USA) & the airbox ducts are listed as Active, so they may be available. The cross-reference there shows that the 82 H1-GPz & 83 KZ550-A4 Standard use the same ducts. So, if the cracks can be patched & the ducts are available....

Kawasaki.com -->> Owner Info -->> Parts diagrams -->> Search-by-Model-Info - click continue without entering a vin or anything -->> Choose a year only then click continue -->> select a bike from the list.

Once into the diagrams, the diagram reference numbers are clickable which speeds up getting to the part number below. Clicking the part number opens a new window with other info. Clicking the yellow/black ? opens another window w the bike cross-reference for that part.

Looks like the '82~83 model which is the H designation in the US. Visit the boys over at the GPz550 forum. I'm sure someone will be able to help out.
