You mean the caliper spacer one, right?
Yes.

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.
You are correct. I was just interested as to why the Suzuki people have used the bushing in the fork lower in the first place. Why did they not make their fork lowers to fit the rotors they are using?

I guess they would not have gone through all the trouble just to have a male locator, but the bushing is there also to take some of the braking load from the bolts? Yes? Or just as a spacer?
