Seeing all these pictures of Monarks while doing research on my '48 Super Deluxe gave me the ambition to stick mine together just to look at it.........and go for a ride :mrgreen: Took parts from 5 Monarks to get it where it is at this point. I know it's not correct for the year (wrong year fenders and head light) but I like it and at least for now I can enjoy it till I find the rest of the stuff to restore it. It is all Monark now.
If any one has a (I think '46-'50) chain guard for one of these I'd love to buy it. Toughest part will be finding the correct pedestal light.
This is it as it was when I got it. The fork was bent so bad it had a six inch long dent in the middle of the fender and it touched the tire. I located a new main fork but it was off of a girls bike. Went down to friends house and we shortened it an inch and rethreaded it.....sex change successful.
After a few hours of work today. I do hope to restore it correctly some day but at least for now I can ride it.
