Hey Mike, welcome back!

There are several seat cover manufacturers, but two come to mind: Saddlemen and B&H Specialties. Personally, I think B&H is the better choice. They do take a bit longer to fill an order, but the craftsmanship is great, and the covers fit very well. The price is around $65-$80 for either brand.

As for the fuse boxes, I'd think that anything is better than the original 30 year old piece of junk. When you do get one, make sure the fuses don't share a common terminal on one side... 4 fuses = 8 terminals, not 5.

As for the tank liner kits.... Well, it seems that a lot of folks here have a personal favorite. Some like Redkote, some like POR15 (myself including), but most agree on one thing - the latex-based liners like Kreem are junk. They have a tendency to get hard and brittle with age, and eventually peel off and clog the fuel system. The end result is usually a trashed fuel tank.

YMMV, of course....
