Have you thought about getting one of those quilted strap on covers for the front of the fuel tank, like the ones you see on some of the really tricked out Semis.
For about 3 seconds, I don't find them very attractive, kind of hokey. Seems you could have problems with dirt and salt getting in between it and the aluminum tank and making it pretty nasty under there.
I am sure that LineX is the way to go on at lest one end, just can't decide on the front end or not?
