The tolerance between the fork and reservoir is tight...
really tight. Of course it rubbed on mine, but not enough to rub through; but damn, damn close. If you look on page 34 of the most current ERA Assembly/Service Manual you'll see the picture that I've ripped below. You know I love ERA to pieces, but man that's a tight tolerance. So..... I'm going to say there's a strong chance you'll have to buzz the fork, as per my thread on it. It's not nearly as bad a job as you might think, though... and you might get lucky and have enough room that you don't even need to do it. I do believe the Tilton requires a little grinding to fit the stock bracket, but, again, that's no big deal. Here's the rip from page 34. Tight.
