I've got some 6400 (?) 8 speed ones which work with friction if you fancy. I'll have to root them out but £25 posted should suffice if I still have them.
Alternatively, have you thought about just sticking a normal friction lever on them? They just have square bosses like a regular downtube braze on, don't they? I put some 7900 bar ends on a bike as downtube shifters and they worked, so I can't see why it wouldn't work the other way round...

Weird question, I cocked up and bought shimano 11 speed bar end shifters to go on my 9 speed rear mech, assuming they would have a friction mode like the ones I took off.
They don't appear to have that option, any suggestions how I could modify the right bar end shifter to work in friction mode? Or does anyone have a right hand bar end shifters with friction I could buy?
