What are you working on?
Is the motor being completely tore down including splitting the cases? I hope it is!
Give a little more info on bike and damage, we can spend a lot of money for you!

What year bike?
What motor?
Is it all stock now?
Do you want to build a nice big bore or put cams in a fresh rebuild and call it a day?

And maybe bump the compression up to 10-1, something like woods TW555 cams. should run nice.
Looks like you have those short style exhaust? those don't help the bottom end power.
What bearing failed?

Have you considered Timken bearing conversion with balance and welded crank. ultimate durability.
