I have the same big bore kit on mine and the 28mm carbs and certainly don't see any downside in terms of the supposed reasons Kawasaki went to the 26mm carbs on the KZ1000, If you are making the other mods to help the head flow, then you need the bigger carbs for certain and even they may not be enough to fulfill the potential of your build.

With all the work, cant see where you would consider 26s.

Bikes run good with 26's, but if you were as lucky as the OP to have a set of 28's lying around at your disposal I don't doubt they'd find a way onto your bike
With the GPZ cams etc. you'd definitely want the 28's IMO, even a stock bike can benefit from 28's hence my original comments about the Z1R. The benefits of smaller carbs are usually that they are easier to tune and idle better at the expense of some top end power.
