To me, the seat is still wide, but not as wide as the stocker. This bike is a lot larger than my GL1100 and any other Honda I've owned (or now own). Corbin skinnied it down right behind the seat-horn section, right where you'd put your feet down, without affecting the butt section. Can't get it any skinnier than that, because of the seat pan design.
