if i were you i'd go for a ported head (Karl does a low lag stg 1 head that is very very good,i had one on my last cossie)
i'd get the standard pistons pocketed as you'll be changing cams (although these probably won't be wild cams,but it's a good mod to do in case you go for lairy high lift cams in future)
greys will be fine,L8 would be a good option to get a good smooth economic drive
Thanks for that Martin, very informative. Interesting point on the pocketing of the pistons - this would be relatively easy to acheive. The guys I do the work with would be able to do this pretty easily.
INteresting what you say about the porting. To be honest, I would prefer to do the porting with my guys that I work with locally only because I can be more hands on, but will need some help on specs if anyone knows.
