By 1997 the Fat Boy's chunky, unmistakable silhouette hadn't changed, and neither had its factory-blank cockpit riding on the same Evolution 1340.
The HogPlay Media Screen brings a 7-inch handlebar-mounted display tied into the bike's power and ground, so the 1997 Fat Boy finally gets wireless CarPlay and Android Auto.
No Factory Radio — Add Your Own Screen
The 1997 Harley-Davidson Fat Boy 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 Fat Boy's wide handlebar gives the HogPlay 7-inch Media Screen a solid, visible mounting spot without touching the factory speedometer or switches.
Wiring taps power and ground near the headlight, and the reversible mount means the bike's iconic look stays intact.
