If they're anything similar to the L2 650, they are specific shouldered bolts, you'll need to get them from Suzuki. Your best bet maybe someone who's fitted guards to the same model and has the originals as surplus.

As Rusty says there not normal bolts. They have a large flat head and a long shoulder to fit through the levers and master cylinder. They then screw into the bottom part of the master cylinder then a lock nut on the bottom.
Look on ebay, someone might be selling or making a replica, failing that it's a Suzuki part.

I know this is for the earlier model (K7/8) but Robinsons will do parts for the later models.
However looking at the price
you may want to search around for 'something that will fit' or replace the hand guards!!!!

Can you not still use the original bolts, & fit a flat washer or two, to take up the thickness of the handguard.??

Have you checked the bar end weight assembly to see if that will need changing?
Keeping the guards is looking like the easiest and cheapest option.

5 and 11 are the pivot bolts, note they are different for each lever.

You'll also probably need the balancer screw 3 as the one for running handguards will be longer to accomodate the spacer and won't nip up tight if it's removed. Be carefull to remove the whole balancer assembly to swap it out as just removing the screw will leave you with the exapander nut likely floating around inside your bars for all eternity.

I've not ordered from MSU post brexit so it might be worth an email to ask if they're up to speed with the sepentine VAT rules we now have. Their site does seem to list all parts as Ex VAT when set to GBP so I would guess you'll pay the VAT on import along with a generous handling fee.
Fowlers don't list the 2014 and show those pivot bolts as no longer available against the 2015. You could Google the part codes and see if you get any UK hits though.
Is there a particular reason for removing the knuckle covers? I must say I wouldn't have a bike without them now.

They seem to be a better price!!!
Definitely worth an e-mail or two to check on the final bill!
