DescriptionThe whole story

Keeping your Ducati Panigale V4's front fork working smoothly day after day takes quality components that last. The K-Tech GBS-019 slider bush kit offers a direct, confidence-inspiring replacement for the factory fork guide bushes — precision-engineered to restore the feel and responsiveness your V4 was built with, without the cost of a full suspension overhaul.

Key Features

  • Hardened steel construction with an additional copper coating delivers outstanding wear resistance over a long service life.
  • PTFE-coated contact surfaces reduce friction for smoother, more consistent fork movement and improved steering response.
  • Exact-fit replacement for the original Ducati Panigale V4 fork guide bushes — drops straight in with no modification required.
  • Supplied as a pair, covering both fork legs for a complete, balanced service in a single purchase.
  • Manufactured by K-Tech Suspension, a trusted specialist in premium OEM-grade and performance suspension components.

Build Quality & Performance

The GBS-019 combines a hardened steel core with a copper intermediate layer and a PTFE-coated inner surface. This three-layer construction is not accidental — each material plays a specific role. The hardened steel carries structural load, the copper layer cushions minor surface irregularities, and the PTFE coating keeps friction to an absolute minimum throughout the fork's travel. The result is a bush that resists the heat and load cycles of sustained road riding without accelerating wear on the fork tubes themselves.

Fork guide bushes are wear items that are easy to overlook during routine maintenance, yet worn bushes introduce play into the fork legs, causing vague steering, increased stiction, and uneven damping behaviour. Replacing them with a quality set like the GBS-019 restores the precision the Panigale V4's chassis geometry demands, whether you are covering daily commutes or longer weekend routes.
