Don't bother with gixxer flatties , the float bowl angle ends up all wrong and they are more trouble than they are worth to get set up anywhere near.
28's from a Z1R, MK2 or GS1000S will be easily up to the job and is what I would go for.
I run Z1R 28's with a similar spec 1075cc motor and they take it to 160 with ease.
29 or 31 smoothies would be more than adequate but unless you a buying a new set can be a pain to set up due to wear and the s/h prices for them are getting daft making them a bit of a false economy .
