    Default Our Deepest Regret

    It is with deep regret that we must inform you that owner and inventor of Baker Built Air Wings, Bruce Baker has passed away today at the age of 83. Bruce loved to travel especially on his motorcycle, he loved his wife Barb dearly, and devoted his time to the Gideon Ministry. Bruce is now rejoicing in his heavenly home where he has longed to see his Jesus and lovely wife "Barbie". Please keep the rest of the Baker family and the employees of Baker Built in your thoughts and prayers as they begin to journey onward in the days to come.

    So sorry to hear of Bruce's passing. I had dealt with him back in the early days of his company and always enjoyed him and his products on my Venturers. My condolences to the families.

    Happy TRAils/NSD

    Its always sad to hear of the passing of a good man, or woman, but that is the reality of our world.

    I've not felt a need for Baker Wings on my Spyder, but they were a huge plus when I rode a Goldwing. Not so much for keeping airflow off of my body, but for directing airflow onto my body during hot weather and when that big fairing was far too effective in blocking the wind.
