I have a 97 Valkyrie tourer and have had the air wings for a number of years. The lowers have finally broken and I need to replace them if possible. Does anyone know a website where I can inquire about them. I purchased the uppers several years ago but for some reason I am having problems finding the company on the internet now. Thanks in advance. Elliott

The most expensive things you will purchase, are those things you would not have needed if you had listened and obeyed.

I've had two sets of Baker panels crack or break on me in five years. I started using the MotoWings last August. They are made of a stronger material and are half again as thick as the Baker product.

I appreciate the compliments, the stainless wing panels are duplicates of the original plastic, I have a friend with a metal brake and a laser cutter that whipped them up for me. I polished them myself, though, so I got in on it. I tried to talk him into making some for the aftermarket, but he was too busy building custom Harley's and custom cars.  Hoser |

The "new generation" air wings are made of a tuffer material and arn't brittle like the originals are. My originals were brittle and cracked without much force. They didn't last long at all....however, the new generation replacements have been on the bike a couple years now and don't show any signs of cracking, splitting or wear....other than bug strikes.  You can get replacement panel/wings here..... http://www.bakerbuilt.com/bbairwings/page33.html |

Thanks for the information on the wings. I will be placing an order this week for some more. It is nice to keep some of the wind off of me. By the way, I just got off a trip to Arkansas which was almost 800 miles and the bike and trailer I was pulling did great. The bike is getting some years on it, but so am I. Thanks again.
