Just another reason to shop around and buy private. Check CL, eBay, etc. you can find numerous deals out there. In NV there's no sales tax on private party sales, another plus to go private... Did I mention that I do not care for dealers?

I think you missed the point. I know if you spend x$ on the bike it's not theft - price is dictated by the market and what an individual will pay. That's not my issue here. What is an issue to me is that the dealers will not pay for the extra parts you put on your bike but will charge the buyer of your bike for those parts parts once the bike is sold. So if you put $5000 worth of upgrades on your bike you'll get nothing for those parts but the dealer will markup the trade by the value of those parts. To me if they don't pay for the extras on your bike then they shouldn't markup the bike for the extras when selling. As someone else said that's why they are called 'stealerships'.

Again no one is forcing you to take your bike in and sell it to them. Like already stated it makes more sense to keep stock parts and swap them out if your trading in. I would never trade my bike in with the add ons I have.

Thats for sure. The only thing that stays in my bike when i trade it, is the cams. Unless i have a private buyer.[/quote]
Actually your right. I do have a big bore kit that would stay on the bike, but everything else would be swapped out unless like you said a private buyer want to buy it as is.

So for the big bore kit the dealer gives you nothing but will turnaround and increase the market value of the bike by the equivalent amount of the upgrade.

Yup...Welcome to Canada.
Here is a bike i spotted at Thiels in Ohio. Stopped there to load up on oil/filters and stuff, on the way to the football game in columbus.
2012 CVO FLHTCUSE7 for $35,999.00 with 1580 miles on it
Since it's used, bringing it to canada should not be a issue...
