Riding One Of My Monark Super Deluxe's
The 1939 Monark Rocket Motorbike "Patina Monster Roadster"
This has been a project I have Truly enjoyed working on! I usually don't post build threads, but!

The pictures are from the time I got the bike, up to yesterday, when I finished the bike.

Plans were a "Patina Monster Roadster" while letting some of the more unique original parts make a statement in bare metal.
1 year only Pencil Springer, Pie Crust Chainguard, Clincher style seat post! Original period blackwall Goodyears and correct wheels, I added to the project. The bike is fresh on the inside (bearings, grease, etc.), and rides nice!
