DiveRite makes a bungie strap that works great with both the SK7 and with their wrist mounted computers.
They can be picked up at Fill Express www.fillexpress.com
Here's a picture.
Do they have those listed on the website anywhere? I'm currently using the stock bands on my Vytec and SK-7, mostly because I'm too lazy to figure out a decent way to attach bungee to the Vytec, and the idea of dragging bungee loops over my latex wrist seals doesn't appeal to me. Those straps look adjustable which would avoid any stress to the seals while slipping them on.
I'm using wetsuit gloves with no "gauntlet" to slip over the seals for protection - so there's exposed latex where the seal joins the trilam when I'm fully geared up. The excess latex kind of forms a cuff over my gloves - hard to describe without taking a picture. This "cuff" forms a large stiff circle around my wrist - that's what I was dragging the bungee over.
Not the best setup for sticking down lobster holes surrounded by urchins

JMO, but if abrasion protection is that important, I'd get gauntlets before worrying about the bungees.
OTOH, the gloveless cave guys down in FL don't seem to have any problems with bungee abrasion....at least that I've ever read about.
lucid once bubbled... Fill Express? Isn't this the place that can give fills over the internet?? ;P

Yup, that's them. You know, at first I thought internet fills were a scam, I ordered one to find out what the joke was but guess what, it works, I don't know how they do it, but it works. http://www.diveriteexpress.com/gas/etherfill.shtml
It even does Trimix and O2.
Just a heads up, be careful when using this with a wireless network - I set mine up using a wireless ethernet card, and made the mistake of walking between the wireless card and the base station while doing a fill. Blew me right across the room. Luckily it was just an air fill, not 100% O2.
