Howdy all. I have a Monark Super Twin (is there such thing as a Super Deluxe?). I scored it from an old landlord a couple of years ago- the motor was swiped by a one-time tenant.
I was planning on just making it a cool bike, then I looked into trying to track down an original motor. I spoke with an older gentleman in the area wh restores old motorbikes and he said that the cost for one would be pretty hefty. I had everything except for the frame and handlebars professionally stripped and the chrome pieces are in nickel-plate. I have the original rims/tires (and the belt) although I am pretty sure that it had a front fender.
Anyway, not sure if I'm going to sell it or not. A restore is kind of beyond my current capability and I would want it to be done right. I really do have my heart set on a vintage motorbike or scooter. Let me know your opinions...
Thanks
