You can get that bearing at any bearing supply house, probably for less
than $15. Just make sure it's a good brand name (west European)
bearinf, and not Taiwan or Turkish or something. My local bearing guy
always apologizes when all he has if a good Timken, FAG or SKF because
it costs a couple bucks more than the asian stuff. I am always happy to
get the good stuff.

 Well I just installed a brand new Main Shaft bearing in my rear cover.
Cost me $17.23 with tax at the local Advance Auto Parts. Ask for bearing
number BCA 303. It is a direct replacement for the original that was in
the rear cover (SKF 6303). Allot better than paying the $45 for it from
Guzzi. Thought I would pass on the savings to everyone.
