I dont have them but a couple of my freinds that i race with have them on their EXs. They are really nice a-arms. Thick and strong looking. I dont think they make them for the 250R yet though.

If you wouldn't mind doing me a favor the next time you run into them ask for me would ya? Any probs they've had etc. I know he's making them for the R, I just never seen anyone one running them but his team- He's a pretty small operation but a real nice guy. Thanks.

Hetrick is right. Jody is a great guy. He did my motor work on my 400ex and my scrambler. I am really good friends with Matt Bartosek so i go over there quite often. Also the other kid he has working there Jake Balzinger is also good at what he does. I would deffinitly suggest buying his a-arms. He does have them for r's 400's and z's. If your really intested tell me and i will post his shop # for you guys.

Hetrick, I’m sure you know them but just checking do you know Matt's main sponsor Ron Capitina? Or Capp Steel racing if you know them by that name. Any way there my neighbors and I was with them at Casey Illinois. Were you there that weekend?

WarriorMan: yea he is, they look really badass. Jake broke his back on a wreck and his sub frame hit first and all that happened was a broken off aluminum grab bar. These *****es are strong. Also if you didn't know Jody is the leading frame maker for 90cc mod class at the nationals. Bud Fisher design on the mod frames though. Next time I take a ride to P.A. I will take some pics for you guys of his parts. Also all of his new Z parts just outa the R&D process.

Yeah I want to see some Pictures of the Subframe. Does it have the stock battery mounts, or is it for a aftermarket airbox?

yeah i know capp....no all that well but a little...i didnt get to go to casey i had to watch the store :(

yeah the subframes are sweet.....ill get pics...
he makes a bolt in kit for the battery to go upfront so you dont need the battery box mounts on the back....
i cant wait to get one.... we keep them in stock usually but man there are selling like crazy...

breaks-alot - DID YOU SEE JAKES WRECK??? MY LORD ITS HIDIOUS... NOT COOL...

I wasn't in town that week of the fair race. I heard all about it though. I have seen Jake ride before and I have seen Joey D ride many times also and those 2 people think I am crazy. How nuts I think those 2 dudes are maybe I should see a therapist lol. The reason I asked is because Jake's back was broken that weekend so I was volunteered to do all the stunts. If you’re ever at Jody ask Jake or Jody about me and that week end. I don't want to spoil the stories by writing them.

Yes I want to see Pictures for sure now. I am looking for a different place for my battery and that sounds interesting.

Ben Gunter. Just say Capp's neighbor. Jake isn't to bright so he probably won't remember my name.
