Thanks for the lead. A friend and I both own Nomads and have been looking for someone who was making tank bibs for our bikes. Will be checking them out.
Nomad and Classic Bib
The guys from www.sagebrushdesigns.com do have bibs for the Nomad and Classic owners out there even though it's not advertised on their website.
It's 199$ CDN so about 160$ US

I guess it's for those who's tank is not so beautiful at the moment.
For me, it for practical reasons. Ie, front pouch.

Tank bib review
After two weeks the bib arrived with no instructions no paper work nothing. For the price a little more was expected.
The good thing is the fit is spot on and installation was about 10 minutes. The bib fits snugly to the edges of the bezel and lays flat to the curve of the tank. Neither the tank or bezel were removed for installation.
The back or tank side of the bib is textured to a soft almost swede finish so there should be very little if any wear to the tank surface for a very long time.
The pouches are removable and hold more than expected. You could stack two Iphone 4s with otter cases on them in one and still have enough room for a pack of smokes or a stack of Ipods on top with the flap in the last hole and they accomplish this without looking bulky.
All of that being said the bib did disappoint a little.
Instead of fitting flush to the bezel I would have preferred it was captured or under the bezel.
The outer edge would look much better with some type of rope braid instead of the vinyl trim but all in all I am happy with my purchase. It is still less than a third of what it would cost to repair the paint imperfections it is covering.
This is what it looked like out of the box

I'm not a big 'studs' guy so this is just what I wanted for a nice clean and slick look. The fit is perfect and hugs each edge as if it was straight from the dealer. It's true, you get what you pay for.
