Default Sv650s fork bushes

Hey all, just a quick question I hope someone can help me with, so I've got my 99 curvy 'S' forks apart, all cleaned inside and out and pretty much ready for a rebuild when I noticed that the bottom Bush... although in excellent condition has a noticeable gap when fitted to the fork,
Whereas the top Bush when fitted has a zero gap (the ends butt up together perfectly).
Are the ends of the bottom Bush supposed to have a gap when fitted?
It looks to be about an eighth of an inch gap!
Is this correct?

As far as I remember that's correct. There is a gap on the bottom bushes.
