It's a bit complicated to explain the situation about getting a license plate for custom motorcycles especially hardtailed rigid bikes in Japan. Stock frames like 1950's Harleys and Triumphs are no problem to register but modify to hardtail frame is not able to pass the inspection in every 2 years. The only way to register the modified hardtail bikes is importing from overseas then register as "new imported" means same as a brand new bike. In the 1950's, Harleys and Triumphs were in their factory stock frame without rear suspensions since they were brand new. According to Japanese DMV, once we import any vehicles from overseas, even if they are the 40 years old bike, they will be categorized as "new imported". Yes, Yamaha never sold any hardtailed XS650 however our 1976 XS650 passed the inspection and it is fully street legal now.
