Anybody ever tried one of these? I have been thinking about making something similar.

Sorry man, no tiedowns needed on the front. I have towed a few thousand miles like this with not one problem.so no front tie downs+1In a Condor or Baxley chock with the straps attached to the rear footpeg mounts.
Brian, these have to be the best and easiest things I've ever used! I've put over 2500 miles on mine and don't know how I ever did this with out one of these........
One thing to watch out for when padding the straps as you describe is if you are towing on an open trailer and get caught in the rain, the road grime from the tow vehicle can get in the cloths and actually make them abrasive.the canyon dancer positioning for the straps requires me to wrap them with some very soft, non-abrasive cloth to prevent rubbing/paint removal.
+1 I wrap the dancer straps so that the loop comes up over the bar and ends above rather than under the grip, it keeps the strap off the body work. Cinch my lowering strap down all the way so there is no fork seal damage, and tighten the load straps on the dancer. I see no need for strapping the rear, where's it gonna go without taking the front with it? If you shake the bike and the trailer wiggles, it's tight enough. Remember to put the kickstand up, unless you like the floor of the trailer or bed of the truck torn up. Don't ask how I know this........canyon dancer all the way up front. If done correctly, may not even need rear ties.
