I contacted Honda Motorcycle Division
American Honda Motor Co., Inc.
P.O. Box 2200
Torrance, CA 90509-2200
Mail stop: 100-4C-7B
Telephone: (866) 784-1870
via phone and they tried to have me call Japan because they have no one stateside able to answer questions of this type - instead they took my info and maybe will get back - hold breath.
I am using 7th Gear's contact info on his website. It still works, but he is apparently very busy and it takes time before he is able to reply. I'm still waiting for his reply email to start production on the sprockets.
Regarding the slider, from looking at my bike and many posted pics, the contact point is closest to the front. By adding a larger front sprocket, that will only help. Decreasing the rear should not be that big a deal as it is further aft and higher than the slider.
With the larger 19T in the front, there should not be any problem. When including a 35T smaller rear sprocket, the chain will most likely just orbit around the low point - see white arrows in photos looking from the chain outside view.

* Added red line on top of slider outside edge to assist viewing.
* Added white arrows showing how the chain will be affected by 19/35 sprockets.
