1982 katana upper bushings

[first timer]

anyone have any of these upper fork bushings (the teflon lined ones) laying around and want to measure them for me? I need the ID, OD and height? I am rebuilding a 82 katana fork and removed mine before I discovered it was a non serviceable part. I have my fingers crossed suzuki was a part bin builder and used the same bushing on later models.

On a side note any good leads on anti dive internals? I need that diaphragm gasket.

I don't have the dimensions but you can go on partzilla (and probably others) and look up the part you need. It will show you where else that same part # is used for cross referencing. Here is the partzilla listing for the upper bushing on an 82 1100E/ES/ESD:

Thanks for the tip, unfortunately the 82kat forks are a little different than the 1100e type forks. So I can't use part numbers to cross reference since they don't list the bushing I am looking for in the kat fiche. That is why I needed sizes so I can verify the two models share the same bushing.

FYI, you can replace the upper bushings on the 82 kat 1000 even though they are not serviceable. First you need a large blind bearing puller (37mm) otherwise you can mare up a lot of stuff.

you can order either suzuki part number 51167-03B30 or honda 51414-GBF-831

the upper bushing is size: Bushing - 37 x 41 x 11.8 Teflon

and here a few models that use the bushing

2007 - 2016 Honda CRF 150R BIKE,2007 - 2016 Honda CRF 150RB BIKE, 1996 - 2002 Honda CR 80R BIKE,1996 - 2002 Honda CR 80RB BIKE, 2003 - 2007 Honda CR 85R BIKE,2003 - 2007 Honda CR 85RB BIKE, 2002 - 2007 Suzuki RM 85 BIKE,2003 - 2012 Suzuki RM 85L BIKE

I was able to drive them back into the sliders using a bearing driver, fork tubes slide in just like stock, just now with fresh teflon.
