I assume you're thinking about something adjustable and/or shorty.
The brake levers made for a wide variety of Suzuki and other manufacturers are a direct swap to the GS500. Unfortunately, the clutch lever is not a direct swap. There are only a couple vendors (LSL out of Germany) that offer a real choice that is a direct bolt-on to the GS500. They are pretty expensive though.
You can, however, swap the clutch perch from something like the SV650 or F4i and open up a much wider selection.

jdoorn nailed it. The only direct plug and play adjustable clutch lever is LSL. They must be order directly through LSL as the US distributors don't carry the GS style.. They are quite pricey, but are made of the best materials/machining. I love the feel of mine. Not sure if LSL makes shorties though..
One thing to watch out for on swapping the clutch perch is the clutch cable's bend. If I remember right the sv/cbr have a different bend on the lever end of the cable. Its definitely doable and once the perch/cable is sorted - lever choices are nearly endless
This is actually something I've been meaning to ask about. Are the f4i clutch perches a direct fit? I'm sick of my ugly levers. And a gsxr brake lever is a direct fit? Or would an f4i lever fit too?
