I tried a pair from an old MTB I've got kicking around but the gear indicator window part interfered with the curve of the bars. That and they were black.
If you want to move a little upmarket, look for the R440 "flat-bar" shifters. They're silver, and interchangeable with Shimano mountain shifters. They're shifters only, so you'll have to find brake levers, but I have them on my all-polished-silver recumbent and they look great.
