You're absolutely right about those industrial yellow foam plugs. I became away of them back in the day when I worked as a fabricator. Wear a pair for two or three days and toss 'em. When my supply was cut off when I changed careers, I'd get them at the hardware store, and when they got dirty, as they did, I'd wash them in little dishwashing detergent and let them air dry. Good as new. I wear plugs when I ride the Suzi DL1000, but not on the Honda.
