I don't think you are not understanding this. The chrome slides are for a standard bore carb, (stock). Sleeves are done when a carb is worn or one wants to prevent the carb from wearing with stock components. Sleeves are generally done on the slide with a bronze, or stainless steel tube cut to fit and the bore of the carb body is enlarged to fit the new slide with sleeve. There are explanations of the process at the link below. I simply wanted a chrome slide so sleeving could be avoided and I found what I need. Sleeving or chrome slides wlll work hands down better than stock components for seriously long periods of time. I have used sleeves for nearly a decade w/o any wear or issues period. If you are a skeptic try something different you may like the results and slides are cheap.

[QUOTE="britbike220, post: 109813, member: 284"] I don't think you are not understanding this. The chrome slides are for a standard bore carb, (stock). Sleeves are done when a carb is worn or one wants to prevent the carb from wearing with stock components. Sleeves are generally done on the slide with a bronze, or stainless steel tube cut to fit and the bore of the carb body is enlarged to fit the new slide with sleeve. There are explanations of the process at the link below. I simply wanted a chrome slide so sleeving could be avoided and I found what I need.
