I'm not sure we can do better than the Koni Reds for off the shelf dampers
for the Tiger...you can get them from Sunbeam Specialities or direct from
Koni. You also might contact Koni about rebuilding or warranty replacement on
the
82-1347's you have...I had frozen up rear Konis when I got my Tiger and Koni
replaced them for no cost. If you keep the Konis on full soft in the back
and just a bit more rebound in front (like, maybe 1/2 turn or so), you'll have
good damping and a ride that is better than stock on lower quality shocks.
The Edelbrock "IAS" valving is marketing hype and crap...I've seen
force/velocity dyno plots of Edelbrock's and it is just nonsensical. I've never
seen Spax
dyno tested and have never seen them used by anyone in either the road
racing I used to do or the Autocross that I currently do...not saying they
aren't
great shocks, I just don't have any experience with 'em to have an opinion

I think CAT has some edelbrocks that were done for the tiger at a good
price. Contact their spares department. Otherwise use Spax or Konis from the
sunbeam suppliers
