My local electronics warehouse has this stuff in all sorts of colours and sizes... easily large enough to fit over a wrapped bar.
Food for thought. (the stuff is permanent unless you cut it off with an Xacto.)

I'm guessing that the downside of using heatshrink on handlebars is the same as using it on electrical splices.
Of course, what I'm referring to is REMEMBERING to slide the heat shrink on at an early enough stage in the process. If you wait until after, there's just no way.
