Won't be saying that when your crank goes out...
My Poo 600 crank had to be reworked while I was running amsoil. But it had nothing to do with oil, just that Poo forgot how to make carb boots.

Well, If they are paying bonuses I suspect they are paying dividends, Bonus! Way better than an anouncement that they are losing money and laying off hundreds.

Pol started out making strawchoppers for combines. They have been a division of Textron. They have built many recreational vehicles including wet bikes, boats and even high end go carts. The Star Car.They have been at this for many years and have seen many things come and go. Through it all they still make sleds which to me is a miracle. There is a lot more money in their 4 wheelers. There is a guaranteed market for the RZR and a lot of their other 4 wheelers through the US govt. They are selling the sh**t out of these. Pol has rolled with the times and in the long run has made the most out of things. They have had a lot of management changes and through it all have decided to continue to make sleds. From a money standpoint this is a very stupid decision. There is no money in sleds. Especially since 2003. Do you have any idea how much it has taken to catch up to the other 3 since then?2003 Arctic came with the Firecat. 'Doo came with the first Rev. Yami came with the RX1. Pol came with ...... lumpy stickers on their SP hoods. They then put the pedal to the metal and came up with the Fusion which never should have been released. Since then they have sunk another pile of R and D into the Rush. For all the millions they have spent they have not caught up to 'Doo or anyone else. If not for the many Pol faithful that have stuck with them since the glory days they wouldn't sell much at all. You think Pol parts are expensive go and purchase some Yami stuff. Go try to buy some 'Doo stuff. A lot of that is not even available. All of it is expensive. Always has been. Snowmobiling is not a cheap sport. You Pol guys are just lucky Pol has decided to keep on. It would be far easier to just say to heck with it.
Grub, That is alot to grab onto. In the interest to take this back to it's original intent I will restate the main purpose of the thread. I was not complaining that all of Polaris's parts are expensive. I was stating that "I thought" Polaris was way off base on thier price for a 2 square foot piece of seat fabric. That's all. I saw that one person wrote about buying a big seat cover and it came back in generic form. Since Polaris has made this 120 for quite a few years I would think they might have taken that approach with the seat skins. Maybe carry 2 years worth of colors and then "all black generic". Not for me to call so we'll leave it at that. My own preference is to buy from the brands unless they are unrealistic or someone has just made a better product. My local canvas shop is making a skin for me out of the same material for $30 installed. That kind of makes $200+ unrealistic in my book. BTW I recieved my order of 120 mini skis from Powdermadd and they are awesome. For all of you with 120's that have plastic skis that are beat up, the Powdermadd skis are 3X's what the manufactures have and are close to the same price. Definitely worth comparing.
