Hi all. Just seen this thread. There's at least a couple of IOMs in the West. This is mine, a 500 imported from Japan some years ago by a friend who brought several Saturnos over. Mine is fully registered in WA and ridden regularly. My friend also has a 350 IOM here in Perth, currently not registered, and awaiting a 500 engine from his stash of parts in Japan once this Covid stuff is over. There's also at least 3 Bialberos over here, at least one of which is registered in WA.

That is a nice red one you have over in WA. Good that there are a few more in the country.
Yes,HP, the front fairing is different and the screen is a different shape too as it curves over the light as you can see below:

Snow White is very pretty
GBM is the Sticker/decal that people from the Isle of Man put on their vehicles when travelling overseas? Like "D" for Germany.

Yes, and as far as I know it's standard fitment for IOM editions, they all had these GBM decals from new I think.

HP, can you tell me more about your paddock stand?
Is it a commercially made one?
It looks like it lifts under the swing arm, is there some protection there to prevent damage to swing arm?
Cheers, Lex
