Default Low rider vs fxd trees

Wanted to get an opinion here. Can anyone tell by looking at the pictures if these are low rider or fxd trees?

Just purchased these trees from ebay. Been looking for a long time for a cheap set of take-off OEM 49mm trees to powder and throw on my Street Bob. Wanted to buy a whole set if possible so I could just send them to powder and swap out quick and easy.

Anyway, I found this set, it was a great deal, so I jumped on it. I had the guy measure the trees, and they certainly are 49mm mid glide trees, but my only concern is that they may be Low Rider trees. For me it's hard to tell from the picture without checking them out in person. I got such a good deal on them, if they don't work, I'm pretty sure I can sell them on ebay and make my money back, so no big deal.

Thanks for looking, much appreciated.

Didn't know there was a difference between lowrider and fxd trees. Thought it was just fork tubes or something. Rake maybe?

I'll google and learn something new

You need a side view photo to see if the stem is perpendicular to the lower tree.

Street Bob 0* rake
Low Rider 1 1/2* rake
Wide Glide 2* rake and 1 1/2" wider
