While draining the trans. fluid two small needle bearings were on the magnetic plug. About the size of a pencil lead an about 1/16 inch long. The bike is an 03 ultra with 43,000 miles. I've done some motor work but never transmission. I wasn't aware bearings were that small in transmission. Where are they from? Thanks in advance.

From the looks of the parts diagram that 8977 bearing is on the countershaft.
Since the bearing runs directly on the end of the countershaft it may be damaged also.
But looking further there are 6 other needle bearing is the transmission.
Items 2 &12 in the first attachment and Item 10 in the second appear to be needle bearings.

I'm bettin' throw-out bearing too. It's inside the right side of tranny,ride on the ramp that the clutch cable hooks into. First step is to remove the right cover,and look it over.
We used to call these throw-out bearings "buttons" because that's about how big they are.
