Motorcycle Vin Short, how to clear vin check?

I have a 1977 Honda and the vin is not 17 digits due to it being pre 1981 so it won't clear a vin check. Any way around this?

That still doesn't address the vin check issue though

UPDATE: Go to http://powersports.honda.com/...ntact.aspx. Click on ONLINE CUSTOMER SERVICE, SEND MESSAGE. This will open a popup and there will be two pull down menus. Follow the yellow brick road and enter your VIN.

I ran into the same problem with my 1977 Honda CB750k. I did find a site that ran the truncated VIN and it came back as not reported as a total loss or stolen, but I just don't trust it at all, because I believe that it didn't find any results at all and came back as a false negative. In other words, no results were interpreted as no reports. The two just are not the same in any way.
