If that was any narrower they would need to take out the fuel tank and put the front wheels in the space there.
Would almost handle like one of those 3 wheeled cars, don't go hillclimbing in it!!

Oh my God I can't believe how narrow that is. That takes the cake!
I wonder how many inches he took of that.

Lead Sled...ratty...looooow! Wouldn't change a thing! nice one

look cool? well yeah.

drive cool? mmmm, must handle like a shopping trolley. is there such a thing as too narrow? If there is I think this is it.

hmmmmm

YES!! LOVE IT!! Looks badass... but probably handles like one of these.

Much like this...

Is the narrowing just for looks or it serves another purpose ?

I don't pretend to know what I'm talking about, but it must surely be only for looks. I'm sure the good Professor would've made it like that if was a good thing to do.
It seems to be all the rage in Europe, and some parts of the US - but alas, it just doesn't do a thing for me. I'd come to 1" to 2" narrower, but that looks way too much.

The best thing about this hobby (lifestyle) is that we all have our own tastes, the car let's us indulge our fantasies, and we can all appreciate the effort it takes to do these things.

All power to the guy.
