The latest one off project coming from Hardly Civilized Company owned by Simon Solomon and Eddie Alexander Meeks, managed to clinch 7th place in the Freestyle Class at this year’s AMD World Championship of Custom Bike Building in Sturgis, and the Best of Show award at the Easyriders Bike Show in Atlanta. This custom two-wheeled creation is dubbed Quantum Leap, and uses multiple unique parts. Specifically, the pipes, oil tank, gas tanks, all sheet metal, handlebars, grips/pegs, brake/shifter components, all drive components/gearboxes/shafts, axles, seat base and wiring harness all by Eddie Meeks, carb by Mikuni, upholstery by Butch Watson, headlight hand made by Eddie Meeks. “Bike is Front Wheel Drive and rear steer, both front and rear are suspended by air shocks from Custom Cycle Controls and the rear steers and moves with suspension together. Bike is shaft driven and steering is by custom made hydraulic pumps and works by movement of hydraulic fluids. Wheelbase 75",” the builder says. Quantum Leap official spec list, as listed on the AMD World Championship of Custom Bike Building website, is detailed below:
