Whats the deal with Western Power Sports.They put new parts in the books and never get them stock--Air Frame boards,MMachines,Spi,Skinz parts--Its hard to sell them when they never have them--Maybe should just go buy direct.

Considering it's March almost April, they could just be sold out of what you're looking for.
Skinz is the problem, They are so popular they cant keep up.
They are the only products we have ever had trouble getting from Western.

It seems some of their product from vendors is only purchased in the fall, when they run out they may or may not refill stock til next season. I've "heard" because of the economy like everyone, they are carrying less overhead. And yes vendors can be slow to fill WPS orders also.
A lot of vendors only produce parts in the late summer/fall, once their gone it's on backorder till next fall. Frustrating as a supplier as lots of people like to get their sleds all fixed up in the Spring and parts can be hard to come by.
The 3 you listed are some of the hardest to get stuff from after the early season rush. Like mentioned above, not necessarily a WPS issue but a vendor issue.
I sure hope Skinz can figure out how to keep up with demand or they'll likely suffer the same fate as MMP. It's one thing to release some innovate new parts, it's another to keep up with demand. The issue doesn't stop with just the vendor though, remember that the vendors also have vendors and with today's economy it seems as though overhead is being cut to a bare minimum with a lot of companies.
