Why not original spare parts?
belt tensioner are standard bearings available anywhere, idle pulleys should be worth for less tham 100~120 usd

Just as McTool says, the one-piece bearing (SKF as std) is expensive as it's probably peculiar to our 2v engines (around £35 from Ducati) but the other side-by-side bearing (i.e. 2 required per belt) can be obtained anywhere (as ducapaso has said) for less than at Ducati dealers. The company 'simply bearings' has a good reputation and I would certainly recommend that you try them.
