Default What model is this 883?

So.....the wife wants to get a 883 Sportster and we've been looking on Craigslist and came across this bike...Does anybody know exactly what model it is?....Such as XL883L, XL883R, XL883N....etc?....I think they did a overhaul in 2004 so would most components fit from 2004-2011 i.e. such as pipes, seats etc? http://knoxville.craigslist.org/mcy/2448986244.html

It's not a Roadster I don't think, as those had dual discs up front and the tach/speedo combo. It has an aftermarket seat for sure, and looks like longer shocks.

I think it's just a regular one, neither a Low nor a Custom (and clearly not an Iron nor a Roadster).
