Welcome to KZRider
Never heard of a kit to do this.
Is the motor apart to plug oil galleries

I've never seen them for the big Kawasaki's but they have been made for the big GS Suzuki's for years, here's a few links, maybe you could modify one of these ?
The first link would possibly be the easiest to make work...

There are no off the shelf kits .
You will have to make your own using AN4 stainless braided hose.
Easy enough if you know what to do.
I've done a few and posted a thread on how to dry block the cases and run the lines which is somewhere on here.

Seems like a good candidate for the FAQ / wiki.
