I went to www.bikebandit.com (http://houseofmotorcycles.bikebandit.com/partsbandit/oem_schematic_view.asp?schem_dept_id=721538&section_dept_id=1&section_dept_name=OEM+%28Stock+Parts%29&dept_type_id=2&model_dept_year=2000&model_dept_mfr=Suzuki&model_dept_id=703272&model_dept_name=GS500EY) and looked it up on thier phish:

4: MOLDING  516846-001 $16.57

Holy overpriced rubber Crap!  
I would go down to the hardware or auto parts store and wander around looking for a peice of weather stripping that will work.  You can order the exact same extruded rubber from companies off the net, but they usually ask for larger quantities, with shipping you'd probably pay close to the above...

Not sure about the name but I think its called Door edge molding, it goes on the end of car doors. Its basicly the same thing as the suzuki stuff. Napa or any other auto store should have some.
