I just took my '98 Dyna Conv. out and after about 30 minutes and a good warm

I can hear what sounds like air leaking. It sounds like an air compressor
instead of a big twin. When I got it home I couldn't tell where the air
leaks were coming from. Any ideas? Thanks for any help here.
Could be a head gasket. Run a compression check on both cylinders and
see if one is low. Also, eyeball closely where the head meets the
cylinder. If you see soot or oily looking residue, that's a sign. I
doubt that it's in the intake system, as the bike would run like crap.
Good to hear that you're feeling well enough to ride again. If I were
you, I'd go ahead and spend the bucks to make sure the bike is all in
order (if you're not capable of doing your own mechanics). A bike
sitting for that long can need some maintenance.
