My First Post

Hi guys! I've been spending a lot of time reading posts and trying to not ask things that have already been answered. I don't have delivery of my bike yet but am getting very anxious to get started on the restoration. I've read a lot about the carb issues but haven't yet seen any mention of gas preservatives like Sta-Bil. Would this be a good idea when storing the bike over the winter?

I guess I should have said my first post other than new member. My plan is to make this bike as near original as I can. I need to locate a headlight and front turn signals and get rid of the footboards. I have a good bike wrecker nearby but I will need some pictures of original footpegs and shifter as well as the headlight. The same applies to the rear shocks since someone put air shocks on it.
