What is the best additive to use to prevent tank rust &/or clogged carbs on these old GS's?

I like seafoam (when I remember to use it). Like Tkent says though, ride that baby you'll have no issues.

Writing up a little story of my "forgetfullness" for the carb section right not

Wow I new you guys were having a tough, long winter but this Question at the end of March?

Best "additive" for regular use is just more fresh gas. (Ride often.)

My "additive" for storage is a double-dose of Sta-bil, then ride around the block, top off the tank and park it.

No in-line filters here, the ones that came with the bike are still working fine.

When I drive by the dome and it reminds me to get some more SeaFoam

Berrymans B12 Chemtool for periodic freshening up ( few times a season with the ethanol gas ) and for long term storage I use Stabil.

I have had better luck with StarTron than any other.

The 500mb models show an event from the pacific which could be dropping a significant winter storm on the northern area of the eastern seaboard in the coming weeks. So the winter isn't over yet on the east coast.
I blame the collapse of the gulfstream convections which stalled just east of bermuda and allowed the polar vortex to split, but some of the locals here are questioning if witchcraft was involved.

My friend the collector stores his 80+ bikes with non ethanol premium (the only NE gas we can get) and some SeaFoam in the tank

He can go out and start any of his bikes in 15-30 minutes, depending on how long it takes to hook up the battery

I use SeaFoam and non-ethanol premium (only non-ethanol around here in TN). I also know some people simply drain the fuel bowls if they know it's going to be awhile.

100% sunnoco 110 racing fuel -- no alcohol to evaporate, nice on the rubber parts, we had a bike in storage for 6 years put in a battery fired right up got it hot then we changed the oil and filter. amazing how it lasted the test of time and protected the inside of the tank.
