I had the stage 4 done, it is a beast! I came from a Honda VTX 1800 that I thought was pretty fast and this bike trumps it hands down!
I did this with the initial purchase of the bike so the kit is 100% covered under HD warranty.
I am however toying with the idea of putting a Power Vision on the bike and running it up to Fuel Moto(a short 30 minute ride for me) to extract every last bit of power I can out of the bike.

If you are concerned about warranty repairs I would just wait until warranty expires and go aftermarket. I had a lifter failure on my 15 Road Glide with Stage 4 that subsequently grenaded my oil pump, cam plate, cams, etc. 3 months out of warranty. There is not one screaming eagle part going back in that cam chest. I am also ditching the SERT for Powervision and getting a tune from Fuel Moto. Based on the numbers I should see a 10-15% increase in HP and Torque just replacing the cams. I am going aftermarket for my M8. Either way you go you will enjoy the results. You will just get more out of the aftermarket.

Thank you folks for the comments. My dealer tole me that it will still be fully under warranty even tho I am having it done a month after delivery. Is he possibly mistaken ?
Oh great, something more to worry about. LOL

I believe you have up to 60 days from date of delivery. As long as they do it, and it's SE parts coming from them, then yes they will honor it under your current warranty, including the extended if you have one. Otherwise you'll get the basic one year for that kit.

Make sure to ask the dealer for a printout of the bike with its VIN after the install. This way you'll know they added the parts to the bike's VIN records. Having the print out is also a good record for showing the upgrades were added within the 60 day warranty coverage window. If the upgrade is added during the 60 days it gets the exact same coverage as if it was on the bike from the factory. It also includes those same upgrades for any extended service plan. That includes ANY parts, such as cool fan, oil fan, heated grips, heated seats, sound system upgrades, not just engine upgrades.
