I thought about heating it, but it would tough to get off if I needed to. The fuel inlet being what appears to be plastic bothers me.

If you buy good Tygon fuel line you can get it in clear, it will not harden crack and leak. It is also more pliable than the cheap crap.

The ideal fuel line has an ID of 7mm, and the best line I've found is sold by Suzuki. Order this part number and they send you something like 5' of the stuff in the bag. You can outfit half a dozen bikes. Part# 09352-70103-00B
This line is soft and pliable. Push it on the feed nipples and you don't need a clamp.
