My quick answer?  Check out the GS500E page (http://www.mawonline.com/XGS500E.HTM) on the Motorcycle Accessory Warehouse site.

Longer answer (more work for you)?  Try the Search link above and look for posts with "EBC" and/or "pads" and/or "Kevlar" and see what has already been posted on the subject.  Go to online dealers that are mentioned all the time, like Chaparral Motorsports (http://www.chaparral-racing.com), Dennis Kirk (http://www.denniskirk.com), Ron Ayers (http://www.ronayers.com), etc.

Heck, just do a Google search for the EBC part number you get off of the MAW site.  Get creative!

==================

Awww....  Rollin668 beat me to it - mostly.

Ron Ayers does not carry EBC, only stock. Last time I checked (and bought), Chaparral was the cheapest.
