NOTE: There are two different depth Monark fenders!
Can you explain ? (newbie) to vintage bikes but I have fallen in love with Monarks, their deep fenders like the ones shown, their lights and reflectors too. I imagine the newer the bike the less "deep" & wrapped around they were ?

Not sure if age has anything to do with it, mat be model and price. All I know two I had were same color, same springer...one may not have been a Super Deluxe.

I don't know if the 1 Monark Rocket I have would have been original but it didn't have the tank, no deep fenders, had painted truss rods, non springer fork that matched the rest of the bike. I believe it's a '51 based on the info I read here. Fenders was swiss cheese ....otherwise I would have tried to keep it Original but I want a Super Deluxe so I will eventually use it as a Rocket clone fully resto'custom. Unfortunately the parts will cost more than the $75 bike did. Lol

They are really cool bikes. I believe double deeps came along in (around) 1950-51.
