1962 Matchless G80CS Scrambler Restoration & Recommission - Initial Inspection

I hope that you will enjoy this latest mini-series featuring this incredible 1962 Matchless G80CS - Competition Suspension - Scrambler motorcycle. My friend Ron recently acquired this bike from a friend who had owned this bike for 60 years having bought it in 1965!

Ron has asked me to go through the bike, give it a full service and hopefully get it running again. I’m not entirely sure, but it looks like the last time the bike ran was around 1991, according to the registration tags on the Oregon license plate. It’s in remarkably good condition. I’m not sure if it’s been restored in the past as the frame looks so good. The fuel tank has definitely been re-sprayed a couple of times.
