ok...what am i missing ?

Only 2 things I would add...

1.  If the bike is garaged, don't cover it with plastic of any kind - the moisture will build up underneath and oxidize parts of the bike.  I just use an old bedsheet to cover mine.

2.  I wouldn't drain the float bowls - I tend to agree with the philosophy that it might cause rubber parts to get dry rot.  As long as you have stabil in there, you'll be fine.

All folks in the area's where freezing temps occur! Make sure the drain hose isn't kinked!! A drain under your fill lid runs thru the tank and out the bottom (rear right side) If hose won't let water out and it freezes vent tube will crack and fuel will leak when it thaws! Most wash the bike before storage so make sure its open!!   :beers:
