need help finding intake valve for kz250

I have a bent intake valve. Local dealer doesn't stock it and says no longer available from the factory.
Know where I might find one thats old stock or any aftermarket suppier?
1980 kz250 single.

Do this... get the part number for the valve from buykawasaki.com -> owner info -> parts diagrams - find your bike and go the cylinder head drawing...
once you have the part number, call www.z1enterprises.com - They will NOT have the valve you need on their web site. They also have cross reference software which will tell them if the valve you need is also used on another Kaw model.

Building on what WG said, I have done a cross-reference for you and have found that 64 models have that valve. I can send you a picture of the listing, but it's too big to post to the forum. If you send me an email address via PM, I'll send it to you....
Here's the info, by the way:
Part#: 12004-1123
Desc: VALVE, INTAKE
Models: 64

Thank you both! Your help is much appreciated. On Wednesday I'll start looking with the info you gave me.
If I had timed this correctly after replacing the head gasket I would not have the bent valve.

My fault.
The head gasket was $25.00. I torqued the head down on it but the motor never ran. Do you think I can get away with reusing the head gasket?
