Does anyone know if this fork bushing is sold separately? (VFR800 2003)

    On the 02+ VFR800 the left fork tube has a bushing in one of the holes that connect to the disc brake mechanism. Its a very flimsy think bushing with an outer flange. Here it is in a picture:

    I can't seem to find this on a picture in the parts breakdown, I wonder if it comes in a kit, perhaps something like 45630-MBG-016 (JOINT SET, BRAKE ROD)

    2 is the collar pivot and that part goes inside that hole. But also inside that hole is a thin flange thing, thats the part I am needing. I am not sure if when you order the collar pivot #2 if it comes with the flange, the diagram would lead me to say no. I wish I knew the generic term for this flange part as its possible I could just find one somewhere.

    Its almost shaped like a car rim. its like two washers joined in the middle by a axel. Its very thin, and its all one piece, so you would have to literally slide it in and fold it, seems like a mess.

    I had my fork tubes powered and the part never came back with them, as they remove all that stuff and this was a very subtle part.
