Developed specifically for the 2016–2019 model years, these hardened-steel guide bushes with PTFE-coated contact surfaces eliminate the friction and stick-slip behaviour that blunts corner-entry feedback and upsets suspension consistency under hard braking.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardened steel construction with copper coating for corrosion resistance and extended service life, even under the thermal and load demands of track use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePTFE-coated contact surfaces minimise sliding friction, delivering smoother, more linear fork action and sharper front-end response on turn-in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirect OEM replacement geometry — inner diameter 43.00 mm, outer diameter 47.00 mm, height 15.00 mm, wall thickness 2.00 mm — no modification required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComplete two-bush set for a full fork service in a single purchase\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExact fitment for Ducati Panigale 959 (2016–2019), part number GBS-019\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePerformance on Track and Road\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn circuit, consistent fork action translates directly into the confidence to brake later and carry more corner speed. The PTFE coating on these K-Tech bushes keeps stiction to a minimum throughout the fork stroke, so the suspension tracks surface irregularities and kerbs faithfully rather than hanging momentarily and then releasing. The result is a fork that communicates grip level accurately, lap after lap.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn the road the same low-friction characteristic smooths out the micro-movements that cause vagueness over broken surfaces, giving the Panigale 959 a more planted, communicative feel regardless of pace.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBuild Quality\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eK-Tech manufactures these slide bushes from hardened steel, then applies a copper base coat that acts as both a corrosion barrier and a bonding layer for the PTFE surface treatment. The combination produces a bush that resists wear at the high contact pressures generated during aggressive braking and rapid direction changes, maintaining dimensional accuracy over a full season of use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFitment and Compatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis kit is a precise fit for the following motorcycle:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eDucati Panigale 959 — model years 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation requires fork-specific tooling and working knowledge of inverted fork service procedures.
