Default Winterizing Gasoline

I'm looking for information on what is the best gasoline stabilizer for my 2007 Electraglide Standard. It is that time of year, sadly, to put it away for the winter months and I have been getting different opinions from friends and would like to have some input from this forum. Thanks.

Stabil makes a green colored, marine fuel stabilizer. Word is its better with the new ethanol fuels and damp places like a snow covered garage. Personally other than the Stabil I wouldent worry about it to much. I would keep the bike on a battery Tender as well.

Any good stabilizer added to a full tank of fresh fuel, ride a few miles to get fuel into systems, and ready to sleep off the long winter. I still like to take mine out on decent winter days, and still use a stabilizer, just in case. Just put RK up yesterday, as I had Carpel Tunnel Surgery this morning. Probably won't be riding for a while.

Sta-Bil or Marvel Mystery Oil are both good treatments I have used.

Here is a little list of uses for MMO.

As added in another thread...I haven't added fuel stabilizer in quite a few years to my car, sled, ATV, moped, or lawn mowers without issue. Never had a motorcycle to winterize until now. I'm still undecided about adding anything. Maybe in a few weeks I'll decide lol.
