The Thunderstorm Pistons and Heads (which I think are the parts you're referring to) are a great swap. I did a 1200 conversion using the Thunderstorm Pistons but went with 1200S heads because I got them for cheap. I had Dan over at NRHS modify the heads some so the cylindars didn't have super high compression. They ran well but I was told the matching heads are even better.
Talk to Dan over at NRHS and he can tell you all the pros and cons with the different head options for your bike. Rather than spend a bunch of money on heads you may want to ask him about doing head work to the ones you have. I bet you for less money Dan could get those to make more power than the Thunderstorm heads.
