Post a WTB here on the forum and check the for sale section. Try to stick with an 04-06 engine, the oil pan is different, not sure about anything else.
As to where it broke off, that transmission bearing is still being "supported" just fine.
Do you still have the broken off part?
Even if you don't have the piece, I'd trailer the bike to a GOOD machine /aluminum welding shop.
With the broken piece, they should be able to TIG weld it back in place W/O an engine tear down / removal.
If the guys good, he can make a "plug" to fit in that orifice and put a fine TIG weld around the edges.
That internal bearing should be ok if the welder is cognizant of it (doesn't put way too much heat there-aluminum dissipates heat quickly ).
