Tried a set of bikemaster brand from bike bandit and some of those carbon look ones from ebay. Neither was even close to the shape of the original (assuming my 96 bike has the originals) levers. Tried the local stealership and they don't have any, plus want some outrageous prices to order them.
Any links would be appreciated. Both the brake and clutch lever are broken right at the ring finger.
PM a member on this forums called "adidasguy" He is sure to have a set of levers for your GS as I know he just replaced all 3 of his bikes with aftermarket jobbies.
I found a brake lever and just figured out that somebody change the entire clutch lever and perch to one off a GN250. At least that is what the lever matches to when I search ebay for other suzuki levers. Now I'm not sure if I try to find the correct perch or just order a $10 lever off ebay that will fit the perch that is on there. If I do the latter, I'll have a set of carbon levers for the classifieds that probably fit a GS500E.
Here is what I got for my 96. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=380333900026&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
Shipping took awhile because it was over seas, but the quality is actually really good. Also, just a note, I had the clutch perch sitting around from an 01 Katana, so I used that for the clutch lever, it WILL NOT fit on the stock perch. The brake lever fits in the stock perch though.
A lot depends on:
1. What is your budget? $20 a set (aka Bike-It with some filing to make them work smoothly)or $125 per lever? (ASV and LSL) (And they really do feel nicer! Stupid? maybe.... but glad I changed to levers that are 20% the value of my bike) I ride every day and I appreciate it. Suzi has ASV and LSL are on Trey and Junior.
2. What do you want them to look like?
4. Do you want the clutch to also be adjustable?
5. Brake - no problem. Clutch> Do you want to change the perch and maybe the cable?

Clutch lever is specific to the GS and it sux.I still ain't dropping a lot of dough on new levers.It you run bar end mirrors or aftermarket clamp ons,then you can use most any clutch lever and perch from a early Katana,early GSXR,or any GS500.

I've used two sets of those Carbon look levers with the red packaging and they worked perfectly, maybe they sent u the wrong ones :dunno_black:

No, they sent the right ones. I just had the wrong perch on my bike thanks to a PO that did not have a clue and should never have picked up a wrench >:(
