Default Deploying again and need to store bike

I'm going to be over there for about 6 months and I am trying to look into the best way to store my beautiful '09 RKC.

I was either thinking about contacting the dealership but I would rather keep the bike stored in my garage if it'll work just as well. The temp will range from high of about 105 to a low of 40 degrees (outside) while I'm gone. We tend to have mild, wet winters and hot humid summers.

Does anyone have any recommendations?

put a battery tender on it it should be fine in the garage,beware of covers they can rub the paint off, hold condensation and atract rodents.

That would be a great program for the Moco....have HD dealers storing bikes for guys on active duty for no charge.

Thank you for your service and God Bless You son.
My son is in the Navy and when he deploys I keep his bike parked next to mine in my garage next to my Road King. I keep it on a battery tender and ride it about 5 miles a week for him to keep it lose. I have room for yours if you like. I am near Jacksonville Fl.
I think your garage will be fine but use a battery tender.

If you are going to store it for that long, move the chemicals out of your garage, they can cause rust.
Be safe!

Battery Tender and put some Stabil in the gas tank. Keep your head down and your powder dry. Thanks for your service.
