I have very limited experience with the VM28SC (Z1B) carbs. They were on my first bike many years ago. The treated me well, but were tuned when I got the bike. I have heard they fall out fo tune. The VM26SS are very solid durable carbs. The obvious advantage of the 28’s in more potential flow in the upper rpm. But the 26’s will be a little snappier off idle.
