Guardrail is correct.
I had a GPz550 H1 many years ago. The cable lock was not available in the UK, it was a USA only accessory. I purchased one when I was on holiday in Forida. Really useful accessory. The lock was shown in the owners handbook together with the part number. The same lock was used on most Kawasakis produced in the early '80s
It is a plastic covered steel rope with a fish-hook style barb on the end that pushed into frame. Other end was a steel D ring. To lock bike, you pulled cable out of frame, looped it through front wheel, the padlocked the D ring onto the cable.
If you want one, try ebay or emailing a Kawasaki dealer in USA.

Yours isn't the only bike to have that. Every GPZ550 from 84-86 has it. I can't say for sure, because I've never thought about it. Honda bikes of that era, had a similar set up. Offered with the bikes, was a "cable lock". The cable was the same diameter as the plug. When inserted into the hole, "claws" would spring out preventing the cable from being removed without the key. The other end of the cable had a loop. To lock your bike, wrap the cable around a pole, thread the end of the cable through the loop, then lock the cable into the frame of the bike. If you get a better answer, go with it.
