STI HD3 6+1 Rims Rub Tie Rod On 2015 Touring ???

Just bought the STI HD3 Narrows 6+1 and 26" BH’s for my BNIB 2015 Touring SP… Haven’t even ridden the thing yet but was getting ready to install my new Ricochet skid plates and "heard" a grinding noise…..<sigh>… I had the bars fully turned when it started rubbing..Rubs on both sides…

What should I do now ? Any suggestions ?? :nixweiss:
