F*#@$%G bolts
Is it just me, or are the bolts on the SV completely S**T. I've gone through 3 in the last 24 hours!!! One of them was when I was undoing it.
  So heres the question where can I buy new bolts .... can you buy them off the shelf or do they need to be ordered at stupid suzuki prices?

Chewy22's your first stop, he does a stainless replacement kit for both SVs which is top notch... And I got a big mixed bag of stainless bolts off Ebay a while back which is dead handy too.

Pers'nally the only bolts on the SV I've ever had problems with were the ones in the carbs, and the anodised ones I fitted myself

Don't forget stainless bolts will be as soft or more soft than the originals.

As far as I can tell, A4 stainless is just marine grade stainless. This stainless is very soft.
