I don't know about the cycle shell...but I would put stabil in the gas, change the oils and if it is on a dirt floor put a piece of plastic under it so that when you cover it with a cover the humidity from the ground won't get under the cover...

As stated just make sure you are not getting any moisture. That can cause corrosion and other issues. I would get a breathable cover for it or sheets so it can breath and avoid condensation. Fuel stabilizer and a battery tender if you have power.

I owned a cycle shelter for several winters. Very satisfied with the quality for the price. A lot like a bike barn. Fully enclosed, even has a floor...

If you are storing in a barn, plug the ends of the exhaust pipes to keep out both mice and moisture. And as suggested, moth ***** to keep the mice away from under the seat and the wiring. They can do major damage.

Also hook up a Battery Minder Plus, clother dryer sheets work good too to keep the mice out.

I'd rather use either one of these, they will help with condensation.
