2017 Harley Davidson Freewheeler (107 cu.in. vivid black).
All I do is put Stabil in the tank, park the trike further back in the garage and plug it into the Battery Tender.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but dryer sheets & moth balls won't keep them away for long.
For the mufflers, you would do better with steel wool. When I had to store mine for months, I would take the seat off. They won't build a nest in the open. Good luck.
I use a king sheet to cover mine too. Works great!

Pretty much the same as above...Marine grade Stabil and an oz. of Marvil Mystery Oil, bed sheet on top and a 4' X 8' sheet of plywood on top of a sheet of foil faced 1.5" styrofoam insulation underneath to keep moisture away, and the Optimate 4 charger.

Compassion for animals is intimately connected with goodness of character....and it
may be confidently asserted that he who is cruel to animals,cannot be a good man.
Time to purchase a rubber mat, or maybe even a 4x8 sheet of plywood to place under bike... while in garage! thank you!

I am so happy that I live in San Antonio so I don't have to fret over storing my Freewheeler.

Well no bad news here. Stored my 1972 Bonneville without moth balls and dryer seats for 10 years before nests in air cleaners and droppings in mufflers in 1982. Indy recommended Bounce and mothballs. Used them from 1983 through 2006 without mice activity. 2006 Harley Low Rider stored as described 2006-2018 without incident.

Mice were a problem with our shed. Built garage a few years ago and so far so good.

I had a family with pinks , under the batwing , nested on top of the radio once ! Best part was I took them for a ride. When I came home and parked in the garage, the mother ran up the fork . That’s how I knew something was up.
