Keeping your Ducati Panigale 1199 S/R's fork action smooth and precise starts with quality internals, and the K-Tech GBS-019 slide bush kit delivers exactly that at a sensible price. Machined to OEM dimensions, this two-piece set slots straight in during routine fork servicing to restore slick, friction-free travel and extend the working life of your suspension.
Key Features
- Direct OEM replacement — engineered to original Ducati Panigale 1199 S/R specifications for a straightforward, no-compromise swap
- Hardened steel core with copper coating provides the structural rigidity and corrosion resistance needed for long service intervals
- PTFE contact surface dramatically reduces stiction, giving the fork a noticeably smoother and more responsive initial stroke
- Supplied as a complete pair so both legs are renewed in a single service, maintaining balanced damping across the front end
- Precise 43/47 mm bore and OD keep the inner and outer fork tubes perfectly aligned, preserving steering accuracy
Build Quality and Everyday Usability
The GBS-019 is the sort of part that repays its modest cost many times over. By combining a hardened steel body, a copper intermediate layer and a low-friction PTFE running face, K-Tech has produced a slide bush that wears more slowly than many stock items and requires less frequent replacement. On a road-going Panigale 1199 that sees regular use across varying conditions, that translates directly into fewer strip-downs, lower long-term maintenance spend and a fork that continues to feel fluid rather than notchy between services.
Performance on Road and Track
Worn slide bushes are one of the most underdiagnosed causes of vague front-end feel. Even minor play in the bush allows the inner tube to deflect laterally under braking and cornering loads, introducing a subtle imprecision that can erode rider confidence. Fitting fresh GBS-019 bushes restores the tight tolerances the Öhlins-derived fork was designed around, so trail-braking into corners and mid-corner feedback both sharpen up noticeably. Whether the 1199 S or R is used on track days or daily commutes, the improvement is felt immediately.
Fitment and Compatibility
This kit is compatible exclusively with the S and R variants of the Ducati Panigale 1199 produced between 2012 and 2017. It is not suitable for the base Panigale 1199 or any other model.

Installation Note
Fork bush replacement requires the fork legs to be removed, disassembled and reassembled with the correct tooling. K-Tech recommends installation by an authorised K-Tech Service Centre to ensure full performance and safety. Specialist tools and techniques are required for correct fitment.
