OK, cut the flange off where the other strut will mate to it. 
I can't remember what I was marking here so if you ever have to mount a set of Buco saddlebags to a 1962 Sportster please call me up and refresh my memory.  I'm sure this is a critical operation and I think it may involve figuring out the angle this strut will mate to the original one. 
This is pretty straightforward.  The right-angle grinder (now the po' folk and the big-bike prima donna's hate me) is used to get the inside face of the strut flat.  This will lay up against the original strut so it must be flat.  You po' folk can use a rock to rub it flat.  Hey, why do you think they call it sandstone?
