Getting close to time to winterize--advice?

[tkd]

Ok,

So, the riding season here in Minnesota is quickly going to be coming to a close for me. We are hitting 50's during the day and 30's at night. It won't be long now.

Question is, does anyone have any special tips for winterizing the bike? (07 Nomad 1600). I have checked out Gadget's page and their is some very good info but was wondering if anyone had any extra steps or ideas.

I was hoping to store the bikes in the basement, but the bars are too wide to fit through the door so it is going to be an unheated garage for the poor girl. Usualy hovers around 0F at the coldest point.

Any and all suggestions welcome.
