By 1997 the Sportster 1200 Custom had its custom-cruiser look locked in — forward controls, wide front tire, Evolution 1200 rumble — with the same total lack of factory electronics as every other Sportster of the era.
The HogPlay Media Screen brings a 7-inch handlebar-mounted display, tied into the bike's power and ground, so the 1997 1200 Custom finally gets wireless CarPlay and Android Auto.
No Factory Radio — Add Your Own Screen
The 1997 Harley-Davidson 1200 Custom left the factory with no radio, stereo or touchscreen to bypass — so instead of a workaround, you add your own. A standalone HogPlay Media Screen is a 7-inch head unit with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, live Maps & Waze navigation, calls and streaming built in — we recommend the Screen 7 Pro with its onboard DVR drive-cam. Most riders settle for Bluetooth-only kits that leave the phone in your pocket with no turn-by-turn directions; this puts it all on the bars instead. It mounts to the handlebars with basic power and ground and comes off just as easily, so reach out to the HogPlay team if you'd like a hand. (Media Box support on Screens is in development.)

The 1200 Custom's handlebar and forward-control layout leave plenty of room for the HogPlay 7-inch Media Screen to clamp on without interfering with the factory gauges or switches.
Power and ground wiring runs behind the headlight, and the reversible mount means the bike can go back to stock without a trace.
On the 1997 1200 Custom, the HogPlay Media Screen mounts to the bar and adds what the factory dash never had. Dual Bluetooth connects to your phone for wireless CarPlay or Android Auto while a second channel feeds an aux amp, handlebar speakers, or a portable speaker. A built-in speaker delivers prompts on its own when needed. It's fully sealed, waterproof, and rugged enough for the custom cruiser's long, low-slung rides.
