My buddy has a nice set of 049 sittin' on the shelf. Came off of his 83 day cruiser. PM me if you want his number.

If your domed pistons will not work with 781 castings, they will not work with 049 as they are the same chamber shape. I'm gonna take a stab at it here and say that you're having issues with clearance on the sparkplug side of the chamber? Many of the forged large dome open chamber pistons (especially TRW/Speed pro) are designed to work with 990/188/088 heads and have a slightly different chamber shape than the 049/781 castings... especially the sparkplug area.
