Been looking everywhere but no luck.
Got my new GS500(Australia) and want to fit adjustable levers I have read the brake is ok with many other suzuki levers fitting ok but no info on clutch(don't want to spend$400 on asv). Any help please.

Welcome.
I'll be the one to say HI before someone gets on your case for not searching. There are a few Ausies here that are a hoot. They'll joke and tease you. They mean no harm. Remember that most Ausies are descendants of criminals from British penal colonies from a couple centuries ago  Throw them a Fosters beer and they'll be happy 

There are a number of ways to do it. There are numerous threads on adjustable levers. I remember being in many of them while I looked for them. You can use the SEARCH to look for "adjustable lever". There was a thread just earlier today so browse down through the recent postings.

There is only one compatible clutch lever: LSL in Germany. About $125 US. Many brake levers are compatible (other threads have a rather full list).  Anything else for the clutch requires changing the perch where Honda H4 or SV650 are most popular and then you might need a custom clutch cable with a 90* bend rather than the 45* bend.

So have fun. Do some searching.

G'day springer where you hailing from? With the clutch lever the GS is a unique perch and as Adidas said your only option is an asv. However a sv650 naked version from 99 fits on our bars and they have lotsa options for adjustability. But as I've discovered there is a trade off with your clutch safety switch you have to join your wires or obtain a sv switch and make that work on your GS.

Actually I said LSL was the only direct option without changing the perch.

On the SV perches I have, it uses the same switch as the GS500 -- the newer switch from 1997 to present. Usually you can get a used perch with the switch. The Honda perches I have came with the switch. So the safety switch is not an issue at all.

Remember that a switch is just a switch. Nothing special - it simply connects the two wires when the switch is closed. You could even fabricate a switch with a magnet in the lever and a magnetic reed switch glued to the outside of the perch (it does work because the perch is non-magnetic aluminum! I did it one day just for giggles and grins to show it can be done.)

I am from Perth Western Australia but now in Bundaberg QLD(yes where the rum is made)
I found levers from motorrad. http://www.motorradgarage.com.au/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=38_53&products_id=1371
for $99 pr.
I just was interested in what others had done with late models.
I'm hunting down a SV perch with mirror mount so i can order a set of levers to suit a SV. it is hard to locate part# and switch types. I'll try to post some pics of the latest lever type for the 2011 GS.

Still trying to post pics this is the lever.

The switch sits under the perch and the pin faces out onto the flat under the lever, this is the switch

I purchased and installed these levers from ebay for about $35 US dollars:

The seller is in Hong Kong so the shipping takes a couple of weeks but he does ship to AU.

As for the clutch perch, I've found that the SV650's are a bit hard to find used.  There are many more available from Katanas (same as SV650) but do not have the mirror mount.
