Finally you guys are giving me some ideas...I thought this one had you stumped :mrgreen: Here's a thought, notice the head light (gonna take it off this weekend) in the pictures and notice that it is mounted on a front hole, but clearly there is a rear hole in the fender. That kinda suggests...

I took some paint off of my Monark Chain Guard over the weekend with De-natured Alcohol and a Scotch Brite pad. Worked great, exposed the Super Deluxe decal without any problems.

Congratulations on your retirement! I'm counting down the days myself...less than 2 years if all goes well. Kinda sounds like prison. I didn't take the 30 years in one place/job route, but my brother did and retired when he was only 50! You guys are getting harder and harder to find, but that...

Yeah, I got some great pictures in natural light and can read the "Super Deluxe" underneath the blue house paint (blue looks like the color Monark used...I've got another blue and cream Monark...the paint on that one looks original and the blues from both bikes match.

Is there a place or does anyone know of the color combinations Monark used in the early 50s?? I've got a Super Deluxe that was house painted "Monark Blue" for lack of a better description. When I pulled the cowling and tank, it was red, deep red, almost maroon. The decals (what's left of...
