older gs's deffinately have narrower seats.  however, i don't know about anyone else here, but i prefer a wider seat.  i wish my 02 had a wider seat on it.  it feels a little dirt-bikey to me being so narrow.

Yes the older seat was pretty narrow, something like only 12 or so inches at its widest.  The new seat/tail is probably the biggest single improvement they have made to the GS. Its at least as good as the old gel seat.
