You do not need the bearing tool from Bits4Vits for Kingpin bearings, you only need this tool to change the wheel bearing, which is a different bearing.
You will also need some grease to put in the hub.

Yes - those are the correct Kingpin bearings. They are not better than the Suzuki ones but they are good quality branded (SKF) items so they are as good as the Suzuki ones. Suzuki tends to use the Koyo brand.
You can get them even cheaper than this if you are prepared to take a risk on unbranded Chinese bearings, but I have heard reports of them not fitting properly or failing quickly. The bearings in the link do fit!
