Not really much aftermarket support for EX500's in general, much less a 1st gen.
What exactly are you looking for? The cheapest way to lower your EX in the rear is to chop the spring. The best way to lower your EX in the rear is to get a set of longer dogbones made. Hit up "Fog" on ex-500.com and let him know how much you want to lower your bike in the rear and he should be able to fix you up with a set of dogbones.
You have a couple of options for lowering the front. Probably the easiest and most adjustable height you'll get in the front is using a set of 36MM clipons and sliding the fork tubes through the triples until you achieve the height your looking for. Another option you have is to order a set of risers which will allow you to lower the front by about 1-1.5 inches.
