Whether you are refreshing a well-used fork after a track season or carrying out a comprehensive suspension service, these bushings deliver OEM-matched fitment with a measurable upgrade in feel and longevity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardened steel core with copper coating provides outstanding rigidity and resistance to deformation under load\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePTFE-coated contact surfaces reduce friction to a minimum, sharpening fork response and improving small-bump sensitivity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManufactured to OEM dimensions for a direct, modification-free installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupplied as a pair, covering a complete fork service in one purchase\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible exclusively with SP variants of the Honda CBR 1000 RR-R SC82 (2020–2026)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBuild Quality and Material Choice\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eK-Tech has built its reputation on suspension components that meet or exceed the standards expected by professional race teams and serious road riders alike. The GBS-018 bushing begins with a hardened steel substrate — a material choice that resists wear and maintains dimensional accuracy over thousands of suspension cycles. The copper intermediate layer bonds the PTFE friction-reducing surface securely to the steel, preventing delamination even under the sustained loads generated on circuit. The result is a bushing that feels noticeably smoother than a worn OEM part from the first installation, and maintains that feel far longer than standard replacements.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePerformance on Road and Track\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe PTFE coating on the bushing's contact faces is the detail that matters most to riders chasing consistency. By minimising the static and dynamic friction between the fork inner tube and outer leg, the coating allows the suspension to react to trail braking inputs and mid-corner bumps with greater immediacy. On the road, this translates to a more planted, communicative front end. On track, where precise fork action directly influences corner entry confidence, the benefit is even more tangible. Because the GBS-018 is dimensioned to OEM specification, there is no need to modify fork internals or source additional shims during fitment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Note\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFork bushing replacement requires the fork to be fully disassembled and specialist pressing tools to seat the new bushings correctly. K-Tech recommends installation by an authorised K-Tech Service Centre to ensure correct fitment, full performance and safety. Improper installation can result in reduced suspension performance or damage to fork components.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFitment and Compatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis kit is designed and validated exclusively for SP variants of the Honda CBR 1000 RR-R SC82 produced between 2020 and 2026.
