An interesting topic indeed
I agree, there aren't that many bending exercises out there. As for me, I usually just take a solo with lots of good bends and learn it.
For example I take a Pink Floyd solo and listen and watch Gilmour's playing. It can be another band, as long as the song is slow enough - Satriani's The Forgotten part 1 comes to mind, that one has some good vibrato, and of course, most of Vai's stuff... That's why I struggled so much to achieve good sustain, because I couldn't develop skills much without it
The other way I practice it is to download a slow blues backing track and try to work on different bending techniques (1/2 step, whole step, pre-bends) and so on...
