No, Lowriders are 2F or 7G, someone may have bolted on Lowrider accoutrements. 2C would have been a 74 cubic inch, kick only, Superglide

Interesting. Mine has the electric start and what appears to be all the standard accessories of a low rider including the split tank, the forks that have the "low rider" decal on etc. The frame and engine have matching numbers as well.

So what does a 77 FX superglide look like as compared to a low rider and what are the major differences? Are the tanks different and mounted differently? Dash gauges? Before I go any further i want to make sure I'm rebuilding to what this thing actually is as i have been going on that it is a low rider. Thanks for all your help!

mid controls etc... pretty much same same..
Oh Yes... My 1974 FX is still kick only, But, I can see why folks would add e-start... big job actually to do it correctly... as O.E.

BTW Do Not be misled, the MoCo never altered the neck angle [Rake] on the 4-speed Chassis.. the changes in the claimed Rake are really changes to the Trail numbers caused by Longer/shorter Forks and/or Shorter/Longer Shocks..Sneaky!!
