Winter Storage

I have a 09 Electra Glide and am storing it in my unheated shed. The bike is jacked up off the ground and I put fuel stabilizer in the gas. I also hooked up a battery tender jr to the battery (which is still in bike). Will the battery be OK in a shed without heat during a New England winter?

Put a cover over it and one of those clamp on light fixtures with a 75 watt bulb in it under the bike. She'll be fine.

As to the cover, make for sure that it is a breathable one. To save ya a bit of loot, if you got a couple old flannel sheets, these will work great. As a side not, it never hurts to put some folded blankets, old sweatshrt or something like that to fist cover the fenders and tank before putting the sheets over the bike. Youll read once in a while where someone drops something on their bike and damage the paint.

Anyone got any thoughts about putting cardboard under the wheels so it's not right on the concrete floor?

I'm (my bike is) in storage now too. bummer.
