TheF2 cam is unique to that model. Bryan J is your best chance of knowing a firm that can try and repair it.

F2 cams are getting quite hard to get hold of, ordinary k ones still work with not much power loss apparently

Try SEP in Kegworth / Leicestershire . Had some crank bearings built up amd reground on a superdream motor years ago.

Pretty sure they could do the required...

There are firms in the US that reprofile cams but don't know of any in the UK. Any 750 cam will fit and run and the power loss will be minimal and almost cetainly un noticable
