I'm with Phil on this - I'd be checking head bearings too.
Beware also that bearings can fail due to aggressive jet washing (the pressure drives out the grease).
Whilst some bearings will be specific, many are "generic" (it keeps manufacturing costs down) and used widely through the engineering sector (and as such, quite possibly cheaper than getting it from a bike / car shop).
