This is the way to go.
That said you mention "new barrels" do you mean rebored, brand new or just secondhand new to this bike?
You shouldn't mix pistons, rings and barrels they wear in together to form matched pairings if you do you will suffer all manner of issues, you can fit new rings to old pistons/barrels providing both are undamaged and within spec. Like Darrsi mentions this is in my experience very unusual I've only ever had to change pistons/rings/barrels after serious failure what happen to your engine?
