I might reach out through DMV for a title search of PO's, and
write each, asking. If they know the shop, or you know their
address, you can almost guess the shop, and go there and

You won't get a 100% bill of materials, but you might, sometimes.
And learning what stuff they do & brands of after-market they carry,
and them knowing the bike, you may find out 85% of it.
I might want to know 1st, if it was bored. Besides, some nut on ebay/
craig'slist will want the stuff, if you can *sorta* ID what it is.

Sell it (i.e., the cam,) for 25% of est value or $10+S&H, mebe.
Explain you are returning to stock, what you think the cam is
and where from, thus, likely a "___ cam" with  ___ approx specs,
but no guarenetee. Well, that's my 14ΒΆ...

Bill; your 175 and mine are good examples of what can happen when 
upgrades/mods are not done carefully and knowlegeably. I'm going back
to a stock cam and bearings too with this next rebuild.
