Thanks, Since I could not see the photos of how the bag mounts, you definitely confirmed what I thought, it should fit!

Finally got around to putting this bag on Momma's Super Glide Custom. I'm convinced that Harley did not use the supplied mounts when the took pictures to advertise this bag! No matter how carefully I followed the directions, the bag didnt mount anywhere near how it shows in the picture. It pushes it way up and over the electronics cover (see other members mount on pages 2 and 4)...not below it like the picture in the Harley Davidson parts web page. So ...I cut the front mount down about an inch and a half to get it below the electronics cover. I also modified the lower mount to drop it an eqaul inch and a half. Now it looks more like the picture in the Harley advertisement. Here are pics after the install ...

Is that the HD kickstand extension? The one I have on mine is a PIA to find, yours seems to extend more than mine.

Couldn't help myself and installed this bag 2-3 weeks ago. Absolutely perfect and best looking bag I have seen that doesn't look out of place. It looks like it came with the bike. I also like that it is tucked away on my least favorite side of the bike so I really never see it unless I am putting something in it.
For the peeps that think this bag is not functional or too small, it may very well not be functional for someone on a camping trip or someone who likes to travel with a bunch of cargo and I don't think Harley produced this bag for those peeps in mind.
However, for someone like me that is all about the minimalist look and can't stand the site of bags in general, this bag is very useful and 100% functional for my purposes. It keeps my pockets empty and has no problems holding my everyday things like my wallet, license/insurance, iPhone, work Blackberry, long-sleeve thermal shirt, etc, all the things I had to stuff in my pockets or a backpack. I was even able to stuff it with a 6 pack of Bud Light cans.
Anyway here are some crap photos as the sun was dropping after I installed it a few weeks back (bike is dirty and it needs a good washing and some pics from my Canon). I used black zip ties to mount it to the brackets as that was a very good tip posted by someone previously. I am also going to lower the mounts like the pics posted by AK BAGGER but I am still happy with the bag in its current position. Also, my bike is lowered and I have the stock kickstand without extensions still and I have no problems getting my kickstand down by using my heel.

However, if you mount it with the zip tie method, you can have the bag off the bike in 32.65 seconds.

Yes, the kickstand extension is the Harley Davidson extension ...works great with the bag. And yes, this bag is nothing more than an "overflow purse" on Momma's bike. All she needs is space for a water bottle (to beat heat exhustion in the Florida heat!) and a couple packs of smokes. My Street Glide pulls "mule duty" for whatever else we need for anything longer than a day trip. As for the price ...even at full price of $229 (can get it for $180 = shipping from Surdyke), it's still a lot cheaper than the ol'lady pays for a Coach purse!! And it is the best looking "single bag" for a Dyna without going full saddlebags.
I cut down the top mount even more today (all the way down to the lower cross-bar), and cut about 1.25 inches from the leather "pouch" on the back of the bag so it will slide down lower on the mount. I also use zip ties instead of the straps that come with the bag. The profile is perfect now. I'll put some pics up later of the new fit.
