storing a efi for the winter?

When I store my 02' Fatboy which is an efi for the winter is there any special things I should do? So the fuel injectors don't clog up or anything else I should do to the bike? This is my first efi so I am really not sure about this.

I always add Stabil to the gas after filling the tank. Put a good coat of wax on the paint and chrome. I then put mine up on a lift to keep from getting flat spots on tires and bearings, put rags in the exhaust pipes to keep critters from building a nest, put the cover on and wait for the warm days to return.

With the '91 carbed FLSTF that I owned, I always sprayed fogging oil through the carb as the bike ran until it just started to smoke from the exhaust then I'd let it stall. Then I would pull the plugs and spray more fogging oil into the cylinders, put the plugs back in and crank it over a few times then leave it until Spring. (I'd also do what was recommended above). Anyone have any reasons why the fogging wouldn't be a good idea for an EFI bike?......I can't think of any.

Also....it's not a bad idea to change all of the fluids, lube the cables and make any minor repairs/adjustments that need to be made so when the weather turns nice you are ready to ride.
