Parts for the Road King bicycle I'm "fixing up"...



Some better pictures of the Brooks Leather Seat added...



Bought these white pedals at the Long Beach swap meet.  These are reproductions of the type that came with the bike.  (1/2 inch threads...).  One of the pedals that came on the bike is damaged and the other one is mostly missing!  So these reproductions will do...
The leather seat is a new Brooks saddle (made in England to this day...)  The seat post between the pedals is what came with the bike.  It has a narrow shaft where the post meets the seat.  I need the right seat to seat-post mating adapter...  Don't know if it exists...

A Poor picture of the Road King in the garage (sandwiched between other bikes...).  I put the Brooks leather handle bar bag on it. This is a beautiful new bag.  (I've had this bag for several years...  waiting to be used on the right bike...).
Took a picture of a very similar bike  (appears to be the same chrome frame and springer front fork...) at the Long Beach Swap Meet just this weekend!  Other than the frame & front fork, the details on everything else will be different from mine...

Manhattan Beach Pier -- November 27, 2015 (Friday)

The guy with the surfboard looks like he went without a wetsuit...  For me, the water is cold in the summer, let alone now...
