I have a head + top end off a cb500 that has been modified to run needle roller bearings, bought years ago off ebay, the seller didn't know who had done the conversion. I reacon the cb500 head and cover could be converted to allow for the cam bearing to be line bored down its length and sealing caps inserted at the assembly stage ( might be a bit involved given the need to seal up the cover with bolts holding it down being in the same place etc). On my kl250 I found a local shop willing to machine out the knackered head bearing surface and insert a phosphur bronze insert for the cam to run in, a much simpler prospect but surprisingly cost effective costing only £65 which was cheaper then any good cylinder heads off ebay in the 6 months I was looking.
I have a few worn heads if anyone wants to have a go at a modification, the guy who did my kl head was only willing to give it a try when he had 3 spares available so no loss if it didn't work, and then he modified the worst one.
