Storz Performance sells the 49mm clamps. Perhaps a phone call to them could get you a kit plus a clamp to do the job!

Can I suggest an alternative to a damper? Fit a Truetrack handling kit. I have them on my Glide and wife's Dyna and they will transform your bike, by correcting the handling at source. I also have a Firebolt, which comes from the factory with the equivilent of a True Track already installed.
Rubber mount Harleys all suffer from a little lateral movement in the engine and rear wheel. Buells have a stabilizer link at front and rear of the engine (so do rubber-mount Sportsters) which stops that movement. The TrueTrack kit provides those two stabilizers. There are several threads here where you can find more info.
These stabilizers will improve straight-line stability and handling in all circumstances. I recommend you fit one of them first. You won't want a damper!

I got mine from Storz. They have them available for 49mm tubes. Give Steve Storz a call. He's a great guy and will hook you up. His products are top notch. Very pricey, but very high quality.
Check out my photo album and you can see a pic of my bike with the dampener.
It also has a fork brace, true track set up, Works Performance springs up front and progressive 440's out back. One day I'll go with Works out back too....just can't swing it right now.
Nothin' wrong with wantin' to go FAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!
