Stabil or Sea Foam in the gas will do the trick. Not certain there is any gain to removing the carbs and placing them in a heated area. Either treat the gas or run dry as Drewpy does. You have done the most important thing by removing the bike from the elements. If you get a moderate day now and then, start it up. Keeping a battery tender connected to the battery is probably more important.

Start the bike up and run it for a few minutes. That way the treatment will reach the carbs.

I'll give it a try, though it hasn't been above 20 degrees in the last couple weeks.
