I currently have a 05 dyna superglide custom in which I am currently having issues. When I start the bike it seems to struggle to start like the battery might be dying. Also, the bike will randomly shut off entirley while riding and takes a couple of minutes to regain power. Any thoughts and where to begin? It sounds like air is putting out of my exhaust while riding.

I may be totally off but I'd start simple. Check the connections at the battery and also the ground at the frame. Mine was cranking slow and even cut out once due to a loose ground.
