Yeah, I have an old rubber one that I tried and it did seem to help.
But I never cared for leaving it on all the time as it can get awkward in low speed maneuvering when you hit it with your palm and end up giving it more gas than you are wanting to.

Try a Throttle Rocker -- can really help keeping the pressure on the throttle...

Put the old bars back on. It's obvious from the pics that the angle of your handlegrips are quite a bit different.
