If you want the best performance from your Tiger suspension, this
lowering of the mounting point is a good idea regardless of the side it is
mounted to. Unless your Tiger is way up in the air in back, the OEM
location is far too high and the Panhard bar is always running down
hill. The optimum position should place the bar level at your normal ride
height.
