5 points is for an original, un altered frame :(

 

  

Keep a vehicle’s original registration number

A rebuilt vehicle can keep its original registration number if you can prove you’ve used:

  • the original unmodified chassis or bodyshell (car or light van)
  • a new chassis or monocoque bodyshell of the same specification as the original (car or light van)
  • the original unmodified frame (motorbike)
  • a new frame of the same specification as the original (motorbike)

I have been aware of this for a good few years, maybe 10 or so, I have built various trikes and chops along the way, the way I have always read it, is a unaltered original frame to get 5 points out of the 8, if you don't get the 5 for the unaltered frame you can't retain the plate even if you get 8 from elsewhere, that's my take and has been for a lot of years

 

So unaltered meaning if it's twinshock you can't monoshock it, you cant do away with a swingarm and hardtail it
