Matt,
I went the O-Ring route as well. I doubt you'll have much luck at a general
hardware store, at least that's what I found. I ended up going to a local
distributor/wholesaler of hydraulic fittings and tried a bunch till I found
one I liked. Mine are black, but I've seen other riders with coloured
versions. The cross-sectional thickness is 1/4", but the critical dimension
is the inside diameter. I just measured mine and it is 1.28" (32.53 mm) as
best I can measure with my caliper, and for me, that results in ideal
tension when rolled into the gap between grip and bar-end. They work great,
but I thought $2 each was a bit of a rip, although admittedly I only bought
2. I carry one on each bar-end (in the indent) for a matched set (and a
spare).
The Throttlemeister is definetely the cat's meow, but I just can't justify
the expense, or stand the thought of buggering one up in a tipover. It's
just as well I couldn't find a Vista Cruiser to fit cause I hated the look.
I also have a Throttle Boss, which is similar to the Throttle Rocker, but it
is a wrap-around strap made of neoprene. It's great for touring on the open
road, but I wouldn't use it when riding the twisties. They do tend to get
in the way.
Neil
