You might want to read the article a little more closely....The article clearly states that the FXRS (Lowrider) was offered as a sport model FXRS-SP in 1988 (I bought mine in 1987) and that the FXLR (Lowrider Custom) Y'know, the one with the 21" front wheel and the ugly handlebars was offered beginning in 1987.
I had a 1989 FXRS (Lowrider) that I bought new in 1989.
I also had a 1992 FXRT, an '88 FXRS-SP and I currently own a 1984 FXRP and an '82 FXR.

"The FXRP police model, which also used the Nova-derived fairing, and the slammed FXRS Low Glide appeared in 1984. The FXRC Low Glide Custom appeared for 1985. The FXR platform made the transition to the V2 Evolution engine in 1984, then to beltdrive in 1985. In 1986 the FXR family replaced the original FX platform, as the FXR became the Super Glide. The new FXRD Sport Glide Deluxe came with a trunk. The FXLR Low Rider Custom (1987) had a 21-inch laced front wheel and an aluminum disc rear wheel. In 1988 the FXRS Low Rider was also offered as a Sport model (FXRS-SP) and in special 85th anniversary trim. A Low Rider Convertible was offered in 1990. If you've noticed that the FXR had strayed from its original, sport-standard mission, you are right on."
Author seems to interchange the two, like it wasnt confusing enough already lol... anyway FXR or DIE! as Elvis says..
