You can also swap out your brake lever/master cylinder assembly with one from nearly any japanese bike with a plunger-type switch instead of the crappy slider-type switch that the GS's came with.
I swapped mine out with one from an early 90's Katana, and it came with a 4-position adjustable brake lever, to boot (and a newer master cylinder never hurts - especially one where you can actually see through the insepection bubble!!!).
You'll have to drain and re-fill your front brakes to do the swap, but I'll wager that most of you could use a brake flush and fill anyways - it's a neglected part of routine maintenance.
They can be found in numbers from various bikes on eBay for 20 bucks or less - just make sure that you keep the clamp portion from your original master cylinder, as mine had the mirror mount in it.
