Default SG pricing

I have been fighting with the dealer on purchasing a new SG. The price they are stuck at is $26,100 OTD. Now before anyone freaks out this includes $6,200 worth of add ons (actually they gave me 15% off accessories so total add ons is closer to $7,300.) The price for the bike itself is $18,500 it is vivid black cruise only. Is this price worth signing the papers or walking away from? Also is the abs, security option really worth the extra coin?

15% off is kinda weak, usually 20% is about the discount if buying a bike at the same time, harley has a 40-50% markup on parts and acc.

So sounds like the actual price of the bike isn't bad just the 15% accessories. So what do you guys think if I threw this at them. Same price for the bike OTD but include abs and security. In the end that should be close to another 15% off the accessories.

You are getting the bike for $1,300 under MSRP, that is pretty good. I would ask for 30% off the accessories and see what they say. My dealer will do 30% off accessories all day long on a new bike purchase with free installation.

Cant think of anything I'd spend the other $4800 on.
My father-in-law said basically the same thing about abs but I have never had a bike that had it. I should just steal his bike for the afternoon and see how I like it. Now how to sneak his bike back into the garage without him shooting me????

A majority of the accessories are Renegade wheels/tires.

I would LOVE to have a CVO SG but even at 26k the payments are starting to hurt my wallet, don't even want to run the numbers on 33k.
