  When we get this question all sorted out then we can begin to factor in
the "layed on lead" weights that the factory says needs to be used to
properly align the car. However, in the end I think it will boil down  to
convoluted Britsh methods being used on modified/modernized (even if only
tires) cars with people weighing anywhere from 130 lb's to 300 lb's and
issues of passenger, no passenger, spare, no spare, tank full, tank near
empty, somewhere in between and any luggage your significant other may force
you to haul around.
 I would think that with the Tiger weight divisions and any relating
alignment settings it would be a relative matter. In the end you would have
so many constantly changing variables. By the way, Theo, I can't imagine
getting the seat that much lower for CG purposes without notching the floor
and running the exhaust through the crack in my butt (LOL) :). I'm 6 ft.
tall standing up and the size of someone 6ft. 4 in. sitting down. Thus, for
me, center of gravity relates more to my swaying upper body than where my
upper abdomen hinges from.
