Every detail of the construction is aimed at smoother fork movement, sharper initial response and longer service life — exactly what serious riders and race-prep technicians demand from a suspension rebuild.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardened steel construction with copper coating for outstanding durability and corrosion resistance under repeated fork cycling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePTFE-lined contact surfaces reduce friction dramatically, giving the fork a more supple, responsive feel across all road and track conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirect OEM-equivalent dimensions (46.00 mm inner diameter, 50.00 mm outer diameter, 15.00 mm height, 2.00 mm wall thickness) for a precise, rattle-free fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComplete set of two bushes covers both fork legs in a single service interval\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart number GBS-027-15 manufactured to K-Tech's exacting quality standards, used worldwide by professional suspension technicians\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBuild Quality and Materials\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe choice of hardened steel as the base material is deliberate: it resists deformation under the lateral loads generated during hard braking and cornering, retaining its geometry far longer than softer alloy alternatives. The copper coating acts as a secondary protective layer, guarding against micro-corrosion where fork oil, moisture and road contaminants inevitably find their way. Overlaying both is a PTFE surface treatment on every contact face, bringing the coefficient of friction down to a level that lets the fork respond to even the smallest road inputs without stiction or hesitation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePerformance on Road and Track\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWorn or degraded fork slide bushes are one of the most overlooked causes of vague steering feel and inconsistent braking performance. Replacing them with the K-Tech GBS-027-15 kit restores the tight tolerances the S1000RR's suspension geometry relies on, resulting in more predictable turn-in, better mid-corner stability and more confident braking. Whether the bike is used daily on challenging roads or pushed hard on circuit, the PTFE-to-steel interface keeps stiction to a minimum lap after lap.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFitment and Compatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe GBS-027-15 is designed exclusively for the BMW S1000RR K46 produced from 2009 to 2018. It is a direct replacement for the original front fork guide bushes on that platform and fits no other model. Installation requires specialist tooling and suspension knowledge; K-Tech recommends fitting by an authorised K-Tech Service Centre to ensure correct seating and to avoid damage to fork tubes or seals.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInner diameter: 46.00 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOuter diameter: 50.00 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeight: 15.00 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWall thickness: 2.00 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: hardened steel with copper coating and PTFE contact surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuantity: 2 slide bushes per kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart number: GBS-027-15\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFitment: BMW S1000RR K46 (2009–2018)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"K-Tech","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53168816226570,"sku":"GBS-027-15","price":70.0,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7831\/0410\/files\/GBSKIT_345c2284-02f1-45b6-9ce6-7b54a4216385.png?v=1780816375","url":"https:\/\/inter-pace.com\/en-ae\/products\/k-tech-fork-slide-bush-kit-bmw-s1000rr-k46-gbs-027-15","provider":"Inter-Pace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
