Yep, and if it does rub your gonna have to buy one with a shorter tab or modifiy one!

does the tie-rod actually hit the frame when the bars are turned all the way?? My friend had a LRD frame, and had the same problem but he was running a stock steering stem. His tie rod ends did actually make contact with the frame when you turned the bars all the way to one side. i forget if he modified the lower stem, or if he modified that frame tab it made contact with.... and it looks like you have beautiful fresh powder-coat on your frame.. So I'm sure you don't want to ruin it by modifying that frame tab..

You could probably just run that same stem, just drill a couple holes and cut off an inch of the ear. It seems the longer the ear, the sharper the steering and oftentimes the frontend binds up when turning too sharp.

Can you post some more pictures of your bike? Looks nice! :D
