Re: drain fluids?

I'd fog the carbs, pour Crisco in the cylinders, swaddle it in bubble-wrap, and lock it in a vault with a laser guided anti-theft system.

Just kidding.....for a mere month, your bike should be fine. It can't be all too cold in Texas. If ya want peace of mind, pour a little Sta-bil in the tank, and run it for five minutes before you store it......

A month? You shouldn't have to do a doggone thing to you bike if you're only talking about 30 days . . .

I'd put it on a battery tender.

and new rods to go with the pistons, stroker crank, new cams, good valve job, port and polish, full exhaust and pc3 and a appointment to get it custom mapped once you get the stuff back on.
