HotCams has shim kits that cover the two normal diametric sizes.  (I forget
exactly which the GPZ uses.)

(This is just the first etailer I hit in Google, many others have the kits
too.)

The catch with HotCams is that I believe the steps of shim thicknesses are
larger than Kawasaki's, so you have  a bit less fine-tuning ability than OEM
shims.  (I'm going by my knowledge of Honda's OEM shims, as I've not
done my GPZ's yet.)
