Default ID this bike for me

The seller advertises it as a lowrider. Looks like a reg SG to me but I'm new to this. What makes it a lowrider? http://charlestonwv.craigslist.org/mcy/3245138887.html

Yep, FXR for sure. That triangular frame section under the seat is exclusive to the fxr. Very cool bike. Lots of info to be found here on the fxr.

Well, of course it's an FXR, but which one? FXR Superglide, FXR Lowrider? I've looked at a lot of pictures on the web, but I'm not sure. Lot's of the pics on a Lowrider search show no console on the tank, just a tank divider with instruments on the bars. This one's got the instruments on the bars, but some sort of console on the tank as well. Hmmmmm.
