Re: starting my build
i got to get back to my bike and do some more work. today I mounted another tire to one of my OMF wheels I now have the front ones assembled. back to the drawing board on my swing arm. sprocket alignment with the 450 swing arm using the 450 axle is not going to work. I pulled the axle out and put in an 87 250r axle. using the 450 components locking nut brake stay rotor and caliper it all fits. the sprocket alignment is out 1/8 of an inch easy fix with a machined spacer onto the axle. only problem is I would have to purchase a new one as my 87 axle is not pretty. i'm trying to save my 450 axle as I have chromed it and also chromed my wheel hubs. so I removed the sprocket hub off the 87 250r axle to see if it will fit onto the 450 axle. the splines are the same as well as the diameter. the only thing that is different is the 450 axle has a shoulder stop near the bearing race. so the 250r sprocket hub needs to be machined a little on the inner part of the I.D. also the splines are longer on the 250 than on the 450 this is the same area that is going to be machined. the 450 splines are about 1 inch the 250r is about 1 1/4. they are matching on the axles as well so during installation you can push back a little to remove the spring clip. I brought the sprocket hub down to the machine shop to be modified for me. should have it next week.

sell the 450 stuff and get 250r stuff.

Glad you're finding the fun in the alignment issue @DOUGLAS
It just needs to be aligned fairly well or you get chain derailment and damaged cases.  nobody want that.

- apply epoxy
- apply clear coat epoxy.

Re: DIY epoxy floor coating It was recommended for best results (Shot blasting), but considering the slab is only two years old and passed all saturation tests.  and according to the experts, there was no need to shot blast.  I hope they are correct.

here is the epoxy down.  the only issue was the broadcasting of the plastic flake.  it was recommended to use a hand held seeder, and it did not go as described.  the seeder got jammed a couple times and left highly concentrated areas of the flake.  for anyone doing this in the future; broadcast the flake by hand.

all that is left is the clear coat.  which I will do today.

Re: DIY epoxy floor coating
is the concrete sealed ? that is a big question this will stop dusting. in turn it will keep the epoxy on for a long time. I did my shop floor 33 x 35 half the floor was poured 15 years ago the second half was only a few months old. it could have come out better but would have cost $$$$$ I used commercial grade epoxy $ 80 a gallon put it on with a squeegee. I love it.

the dusting was from the etching process.  It was removed with denatured alcohol prior to epoxy application.

as for the epoxy.  it is commercial grade, 100% solids.  I applied with a squeegee.
