Hi

Honda are normally very good for getting spare parts out quickly. They might be getting some from a general parts supplier rather than Honda (the bearings are almost certainly a standard size), and this might take longer but not a week.

Changing them can be a pain, but should not be too time consuming for a reasonably equiped workshop.

All the best
