Is the bushing on GSX-R only for locating or for taking the braking load?

You mean the caliper spacer one, right?
It is required on the retrofit using the OEM size Triumph rotors (or equivelant size after-market) because the Triumph uses 320mm rotors, while the K6 Suzuki has 310mm (K3/4 has 300mm).
The spacer is 5mm making up the difference in radius (155 to 160).

So if the GSX-R Tokicos were to go on the stock 1050 fork bottoms, they will be fine without the bushing and with the bolts taking the whole load?

My understanding is that the fork mounting on the late model Triumphs accounts for the correct radius without any requirement for a spacer. I have not validated this personally but many have made the retrofit of the Tokicos to the 05/06 S3 without one.
