Either price seems "high" to us in the states... what was the retail price , and are the prices in US $ or CDN $?....
either way... a "last years model" used bike should be at least 10-15% off retail... otherwise, I'd buy new.
Yeah i know there aren't any Road Glides in the line up NOW... but as you are in Calgary... I'd wait til spring, unless it was a GREAT deal... and these don't seem so great (to ME)

Its in CDN. A new Road glide in Canada last year is around 30K. New street glide specials are selling for 30K this year. We get it up the a$$ up north. The orange one was 38K with the upgrades last year. The dealer is telling me that it's full factory warranty and it starts when I pick the bike up.

I agree with krying unless the dealership can show you documentation of the work. Will the stage 4 modifications be warrantied as well?

Buy the one that you like. Color is important and orange vs black is very different.
For the $ 5000 difference you can easily do the Stage 4 a better way than with the SE kit. Fuel Moto 107 kit is only 1299.00 plus labor http://www.fuelmotousa.com/site/107-inch-big-bore.html
If you add heads your still less than $ 5000
Or if your riding season is over up there Id wait and see what the new Road Glides are going to be, it may be the bike you want or it may drive the price down on the old models

exactly - when I got a quote from Stn Mtn HD -- they offered me 8k for an 09 RG with wheels, stereo, corbin seat, Hqs 107 that they built -- it does have 40k miles -- no money for extras
Easy, offer the same price for the Candy Orange bike as the Denim. If they balk and start telling you about the stage 4 just ask them how much over stock they gave the previous owner over stock value on his trade, when they start to answer, interrupt him and say "That was a rhetorical question, I know you didn't give him any extra and I am not sure I want a modified engine anyways" The power in any relationship or negotiation lies with the party that is willing to walk away.
