I only use SGP.

I recently picked up a pair for my T500 (same as the 750 but of course you need three). I paid £16.00 each.

I second what Mencie said - Suzi genuine bearings are cheap enough not to worry about buying pattern parts. They were certainly cheap for my old GT380.
1976 GT380 - wounded by me, and sold on
2006 SV650S - killed by a patch of diesel and a kerb in Feb 2019
2017 SV650 AL7 - naked and unashamed

+ 1 to the previous comments. Your local Suzuki dealer can get them, or as you are in Canada, another option is to mail order them from https://www.canadasmotorcycle.ca for $14.29 each in Canuck bucks. South of the border, they go for $9.55 each in USD, but there is the exchange rate plus cost of getting them here. 8)

Ok, so I'm about to place an order with Canada's motorcycle for a few things, but I can't find the little end bearings. Are you sure they still sell them? If so do you have a link????

'Best way to find anything part-wise online is to use the part number.

You can get that from one of the many online parts-fiches from dealers or download a parts manual.

Partzilla is quite a good reference point as they list which other bikes use the same part.
