Hi everyone this is actually my first bike build the other bikes i have one was a gift and the other i just repainted . so this is all new to me and im loving it alot cheaper then re doing a car haha
ok so this is my 50's Monark Sun Valley i picked it up this month was just going to clean it and keep the orig paint had to put it in my room b/c the garage is to cold to work in .
after a few days of looking at this bike i grew to hate the color reminds me of 80's/90's street rods easter egg color and thats just not me . so i decided to take it all apart first time i ever took a whole bike apart but it was easy
the bike is going to get sand blasted then painted i have a theme lined up and everything heres the pics so far
question for the above picture the bracket ball bearings i took out the one side was filled with grease annd then the other side was barley any grease .. when i re-assemble the bike should i grease both sides up nice or one more then the other . and should i soak them in kerosene or is there something else i can clean them up with ?
the handle bars and forks gave me the worst trouble b/c they were frozen with rust sprayed alot of wd-40 in my room boy that was fun lol .. so anyways when taking the front fender off i broke the bolt head off that goes into the bottom of the forks hope i can tap it out
so thats it so far, while its gettin blasted think i will start foaming up the seat and making a seat cover for it
