It should work with a slick . . .

One other subtle aspect...high-powered streetbikes such as turbos or big N20 shots can suffer from too much additional length, as their ability to transfer weight to the rear wheel is diminished the longer you go on the arm. 
 
Like anything else, a good balance can be found, so match the arm to the task at hand...longer is not always better.
Exactly....That's where a good suspension  setup comes in handy....
True, but on the high-powered bikes, even a shock won't save you from high-speed wheelspin on the street if the arm is too long.  For high-powered bikes, anything much past 6 or 8 over is a recipe for lost traction on the street.

id say do a little of both extend say 4" r so to aid in keeping the wheel down and keep the shock from the wheely bars hiting to a minimum, and also put bars on did this combo on a zx9 and it was killer,  8" over swingarm and with that i did get alot of wheelspin on the street, but at the track it would stand on end,  with the bars and the stock swingarm it was a great setup but if the bars wer a bit too high or the tire pressure wasnt right i got tons of wheelspin,  a combo of the both was deadly 
respect
