Starter rollers

[Killer Canary]

Hello!
I have a 1978 GS 750 with a poor starter; the drum on the big gear measures good but the rollers have flat faces hammered into them, like round diamonds.
I'm wondering if anyone might know of a roller bearing with the correct size of rollers to replace these.If the new rollers are too wide they could be cut down on a surface grinder as long as the diameter is right.
Any thoughts?

If they are still available, the proper parts are probably cheaper than thowing in roller bearings.

Where did you get those part numbers from? I looked on that site you listed with no results. What category are they listed in?

Those are the OEM Suzuki part #s you can get them from your dealer.
The other site you would have to call them
