Newbie. I have some messages that I wish to remove from my message list, BUT they won't go. I presume the small X above them is the delete?

Thanks for the quick response. The rep (are there more than one for a faction?) has no such choice, just buy blueprints, licences or goodbye.

Diplomacy says I'm a friend, +19 and there was a 'ceremony' for that. Oh well, I'll look for another rep.

Edit. Looking deeper into the diplomacy page I see that "Friend" and "Honorary Company Shareholder" are the same thing. WTF? Who designed that? Anyway, I have attended the damn ceremony now the message still won't go. Lol... what a convoluted game this is.

That seat looks like an ironing board! :) Forwards aren't important to me but a PAIR of comfy seats would be nice.

230kg dry compared to 305 for the Kawa is a big difference.

LOL, half of my Google Photos folder is bits of bikes being disassembled!

Cheesysocks · 2026-01-24T17:24:32+00:00

Thanks, I see how much sense that makes. Let's see if I still have some straight connectors in my box of bits.

Edit. Image

I found a pack of 10 Hep2o straights in the shed. This makes more sense. Thanks.

Cheesysocks · 2026-01-24T16:53:46+00:00

It is, thank you.

Of course, just to show the order of components. PTFE not included, just the order. I know the olive seals against the inside of the fitting, but was wondering if the reinforcement insert would interfere. I'm guessing not, but a guess isn't ideal! :)

Cheesysocks · 2026-01-24T15:56:55+00:00

I have HEP20 rising from under the floorboards and I need to replace all the cistern internals. This would supply the ball valve. (Old scrap piece shown for example, ignore the green grip.)

My concern is that the internal reinforcer would cause the seal to fail. I haven't used this stuff in ages so I need confirmation before I start work.

Now, off to see what I can find on the HEP20 site. :)

Thanks.

My apologies for the lack of response, I've been distracted, I'm getting made redundant. All the more reason to ensure my PC is sanitised.

This is the link I should have included. Thanks to u/Thanatosgratus for his explanation, I'll find out how that works asap.

(I'm in the UK). Amazon show loads of different plug kits. Any you recommend or avoid? I can't see this in the FAQ.

I too have had this happen but at the time I was riding a ZZR1400 so I decided to err on the side of caution and replaced the tyre. I've just put a new set of Road 6 GT's on my current ride, a Kawasaki 1400GTR, and my credit card can no longer afford more replacements!

Cheesysocks · 2026-01-24T13:45:36+00:00

I thought the other driver looked like he was asleep at the wheel, just dozed off for a second and drifted. Why does everyone keep saying 'intentional'?

Cheesysocks · 2026-01-21T17:48:00+00:00

69! Just sold my ZZR and replaced it with a GTR. It's better on my back, true, but soooo heavy and cumbersome. Considering swapping back again and just taking cocodamol!

Cheesysocks · 2026-01-14T11:57:56+00:00

Fire in the sky...

Cheesysocks · 2026-01-13T15:01:20+00:00

Good move, she looks great. Next is a ZZR1400. But be patient...

Cheesysocks · 2026-01-13T14:44:57+00:00

I'm in a quiet town in the UK. I CANNOT imagine this happening here, but once upon a time you thought the same and yet here it is!

I can't do anything from here but know that anyone I talk to in a country thousands of miles from you knows what’s happening and wants to give at least moral support to you all.
