Yes, KneeSavers help my hips. And my knees.
Wrecked my new 03 Concours in April of 03, broke both hips and shattered my pelvis. Lots of steel holding me together. KneeSavers make a huge difference.
I tried putting the bike back to stock recently, and after 100 miles, I was hurting. KneeSavers went back on REALLY quickly.
