Re: New ERA for the 71!
I'd love to do the same thing. Could I ask how you went about your search for the combo and in round figures what you had to give for it (if you dont mind) . I'm not sure where to start looking or what a fair price for something like that is worth

I was going to buy a air ride system but after the 3200 mile Power Tour I decided on the motor instead. The old 305 TPI is tired and blowing oil out still even though I fixed it before the tour. Hope to have it in and running before the new year but only time will tell.

Re: New ERA for the 71!
That's awesome Andy! Can't wait to see the thread build on that one. You will love the difference in power and the fact if doesn't have 200k miles.
