Default alphabet soup

Greetings all,,

Can anyone tell me what the "SM" in FXST/SM means? I can't find any reference to the "SM" anywhere. I can guess that the "S" means standard since the title is attached to an 07 Softail Standard,,but can't figure out the "M". Any ideas??

Thanks

FXSTS is a Springer Softail. The standard is id just FXST. The M still has me.

Thanks everyone for the entertaining responses-some pretty good ones!
Found someone at the dealer who had the answer-the "SM" stands for "smooth", as in smooth wheel (the chrome laced front wheel with the rounded edge)
Never would have guessed that
