Default Piston info

Hello all,
Maybe I should have introduced my self in the other part of the forum but I don't actually own a HD although I would like an old classic model.
I am currently building a short stroke Norton and looking for a suitable piston. I have trawled through loads of catalogues but cannot find the info that I need. I'm turning to all of you guys now to ask for help and I'm sure that this is the right place to find it.
I am looking for a flat top piston 3 7/16" dia with a compression height (distance between centre of wrist pin and top edge of the piston) of approx 1 5/8".
A piston with a slight dome may also be suitable.
I know that the standard bore for some of the classics is 3 7/16" but cannot find the compression height anywhere.
Thanks in aticipation
Duke
