I knew of JHS when he was operating out of what was basically a shed & had a lot of respect. However, I went to the new place hoping for some help & advice setting up my SV650 Minitwin (I was intending to put some money their way). I was treated like a piece of muck on someone's shoe. I'd like to think it was a one off but I'm certainly not going to go back in a hurry.
I can't say that really like Fowlers sales but I've never had a problem with the parts counter. Although I do tend to go in with part numbers taken from a fiche so know exactly what I'm asking for.
I put my CBR6 into the Fowlers workshop for its first big service (16k) in Nov 1995ish & it came back like a new bike. My garage even smelled like a showroom for a week so I was very impressed until my mate put his FZR in for a similar service & it came back with a list of problems.
So, draw from these comments whatever you want to but in my experience finding a place you know & trust can be a very personal thing.
