As others have said... they'll fit. You can swap pistons freely between all B202s... put in 7.2:1 pistons from an '81 900T or put in 10.1:1 pistons from a '90 900S.
But, as Keith says, I don't really think doing that is a good idea. You really should have the bores re-honed and that means going oversize almost certainly. If that's not an option, why not swap the entire motor from the '85 into your '87? Rarely does the bottom end fail on a c900, so even if the '85 has a crapload of miles I wouldn't be too concerned about it using it so long as it passes basic inspection... If necessary, keep the head and top-end from your '87, but swapping around used pistons probably isn't the greatest of ideas.
