Bar end bolts - where?

Does anybody know where (preferably in 'Sauga) to source the bar end bolts?
The stock bar ends of the bike are a one piece plastic(!!!) item and I need just the bolts to fit a pair of Sato SS long bar ends.
The bolt will have to be a socket head M12 x 1.75 about 3" long.
The Dealer will obviously have the stock one piece plastic item and it cannot be used due the combined cap end and bolt shank resulting shorter length of bolt.
Due to space restriction, the bolt head will have to be a socket, torx or allen or phillips.
Thanks.

A lot of my metric bolts come from flat panel wall mounts. You only need 4 bolts and they normally come with 16 or more. Not sure if m12 are in those packs.

M12 can be tough to find, they are pretty big and not anything you would find in stuff around the house. Bearing supply places will have them in stainless and black oxide. they are commonly used as axle shafts in medium and heavy material handling.

OP needs hex socket head, 75-80mm long - I’d be surprised if a hardware store had that. I doubt many auto parts places would have that.
 
The original bar ends are plastic and definitely not suitable for the purpose.
I decided to replace the originals with heavier and more robust SS items from Sato (made in Japan) items. Unfortunately the Vendor does not seem to be aware that their statement on the web site that the OEM bolts will work, is misleading and I am looking for a work around, as the bar ends themselves are good quality.

Quote: "On S1000RR/ R and R NineT, you can use the stock M12-size bar end bolts with our SHORT and LONG style Bar Ends".

- Not true!
 
Thanks to all that responded!
I was able to source the fasteners from Bolts Plus at Oakville, two allen head socket M12x55 bolts cost me $7.00
It took me all of 10 minutes to get the OE plastic items out, put a dab of blue thread-lock on the new fasteners and bolt the Sato Racing SS bar ends to the bars.
Much better!
