WTB : Bar end shifters, either friction or indexed would be fine. These
are going a a commuter bike I am setting up. TRIPLE on the front and
Shimano 8 speed on the rear.

These go pretty cheap (8-speed models) on EBay all the time.
Rivendell bikes also sells them very reasonably.
FYI: There's no such thing as a double or triple for the left shifter,
they're all the same.

Are you sure about that? For Campy, that's correct, but for 8 speed Shimano
AFAIK they are different.

I think that is correct. I have a couple of sets on some bikes I own,
and the left (front) shifter is not indexed.

Positive.
The left side isn't index for bar-ends, never has been.
