ANY adjustable brake lever for a GS500. They all fit the same. Just do an ebay search.
There are other threads regarding adjustable and compatible levers.
Just some threads:

Maybe the one that's OEM Quality?

Maybe if you included the links to the items we could take a look see?
OEM is about $60 list price from a dealer (GS500, SV650, or others). Has 4 positions. Some have 6 positions.

EDIT: Oh wait...he may not have been addressing me??  Doh!  :D

I think a part# LEVER ASSY, BRAKE 57300-33E01

And a photo is plenty of info...but here's your link, It's (#4) $55.04

Here is a way to "Reverse Part Number Lookup" it with just the Part#57300-33E01

Misunderstanding.
I meant for danielarms76 to post the links since he was mentioning different ones he found and was asking our opinion.

Good, though, you pointed out the OEM. Why pay $40 or so for after market when for a few dollars more you can get the factory one?

Then, if paying close to $60, wyy not go all the way to $80 or so and get really good ones like ASV? Unfortunately, I have yet to find anyone with really good levers that has a compatible clutch lever. I did get in the SV650 perch to see how that fits. Also got in an extra GS500 clutch perch to see what it would take to make an SV650 lever fit on it - get out the old dremmel and hack away at both. (Clutch switch can be hacked in any number of ways once the lever fits the perch. Dang that odd angle for the clutch cable  >:( )

ASV has compatible levers:

http://asvinventions.com/SV-650SV-650S-99-09/

More expensive than the Pazzo and you don't even get trinkets or bling. The ASV came in a nice foam padded box. I guess that's worth something.

Heres a good question: Other than getting custom clutch cables, is it possible with a really good tubing bender (or a bending robot from the 31st century) to put more bend in the clutch cable? If we could do that, the SV650 perch and lever would work. Hmmmmm..... my big box-o-bolts does have an extra clutch cable or two. Wouldn't hurt to try.

Heres something interesting: The GS500 and the 96-99 Bandit use the same lever (57620-01D00) while the perch has the cable coming off at a different angle on the Bandit. What other bikes used that same clutch lever part? Does anyone have that software catalog from a guy in Canada that cross references all parts up to 2000? You can put in a part number and it will tell you all the bikes that used that part. If the Bandit has the same lever but different perch, we might be able to find other levers that fit the perch and the angle the cable comes off of the perch is irrelevant. We can always do something about a clutch safety switch. Or is there a different clutch cable we can use?


UPDATE:
The $9.99 brake lever looks OK. The brake/clutch set is a waste since the clutch lever is not compatible.
I guess you're down under since the listings are Ausie.

there are lots available in the UK likethis one:

You should be OK. Remember to grease the pivot and where the lever presses the master cylinder.

danielarms76

chopobo

what about clutch lever?

can any year model from gs fit on a 2008 gs500f?

As far as I know all the GS clutch levers are the same, anyone feel free to correct me if that's wrong, myself I replaced the perch with one from an sv650 and put an ASV lever in it so now I have a nice matching set of ASV levers ^_^
