Tried to instal the slim dust free cover but mechanic was not happy with that one since it left some of the bearings exposed.Just FYI, even if some of the bearing is exposed, it shouldn't be an issue as long as you aren't doing every ride in the forest of Ardennes during rainy season. In some cases, riders forego dust covers all together, in order to hit their fit needs. Guys like Craig Alexander who put in more miles than most of us would care to dream of. If you do any regular maintenance on your bike, you'll never have a problem.
My LBS does most of my maintenance, but I don't feel like replacing bearings every 6 months, no thank you. Not finding fit amazing yet with the Alpha X, but I do really like the bar and will work with it to get a ideal fit. Back up option still Felt Dagger stem and Zipp bar.
