gas treatment suggestions?

Just picked up my 05 Roadking. It's a carb model that has not been road much in the last year. What's a good additive for the gas? I'm guessing there's something out there to beat STP these days.

Thanks

Techron! I use it every third or so fill-up. Never have carbon build up on the valve stems of any of my Harleys since I started using Techron many years ago.

Curious how much Techron you use per gallon. I have a 5 gallon tank.

This is the best system cleaner out there period. Try it first then go waste your money on the others if you feel you need to (doubt you will). Best to pour in night before a ride take the bike around block then park and let the stuff do its job, have had unbelievable results with my carbed jap bikes and lawn equipment with this stuff, its like a miracle. Use it twice a year on every motor I have.

I use Seafoam for when something hasn't been treated and sits for a long time. But I use Stabil for treatment of gas that is going to sit. I always have Stabil in my mower can.
