And like you said, winter is here and it's most likely going to wait until springtime. I suggest filling the gas tank to the top and adding Sta-bil to the tank and turning over the engine to get it into the lines and carbs. That will keep the fuel as fuel throughout the winter. Battery on a tender is a great idea (best if you take the battery inside and hook it up to a tender).
We are practically neighbors, reach out if you have any questions.

Yeah, good point about the gas. I'll do that this weekend when temperatures are supposed to be closer to the kind that can sustain human life. I'm sure you know what I'm talking about. Probably do the battery at the same time.
It's funny, we had such a nice start to November that I had delusions of getting some stuff done on the bike "before it got really cold". Well, that didn't take long...
Thanks a lot.
