Telelever rubbing

[Team Orange]

Having owned my 02 GSA for a little over a year, I now get it. Its oficially a keeper!
I ventured off road on it for the first time last week, the telelever has rubbed against the crash bar.
I have Touratech bars on, is this normal or should I have adjusted the preload or something.
Its only on the left hand side.
The bar does not seem to be bent & there is an indent on it (presumably to prevent this happening).
I'm thinking of breaking out the grinder.....

What is the best paint to touch up, do I have to invest in the real deal or is there a more cost effective solution?

What is the best way to respray the fork brace bit that has rejected its paint.

Yes.....a whole year to see the light

I've had OE and HB bars on and never had them touch the telelever? The telelever is obviously never going to flex laterally so if it touching a bar on one side only, then unless the bars are not symetrical, then I assume something is on wrong? Its not going to be the telelever. This sounds weird - can you post a picture?
