My Super H (also Super M) spent their first 45 or so winters outside in cold upstate NY with no ill effects. A few tips:

50 - 50 antifreeze in engine is fine. It'll mix with any water left in the block and prevent freezing down to about -30 or lower.

Put a container or tin can over the exhaust stack, then tie it down so it can't get blown off.

Either fill the gas tank to the filler neck, or better yet drain it completely for winter storage. Temporarily pull the drain plug from the carburetor and remove the sediment bulb to drain any water that might be in 'em.

Cover the seat and transmission with a poly tarp or HEAVY plastic tied down well. (Helps keep water out of the tranny and it saves the seat.)

Inflate the tires (30# front and 12# rear) to minimize flat spotting come spring

Remove the battery, charge it overnight then store it in a dry place.
