Running the Evolution 1340, the 1997 Harley-Davidson Road King kept its classic touring lines and windshield-and-bags setup without any of the fairing electronics found on other touring models. The cockpit had no radio and no factory display, just clean handlebar space. The HogPlay Media Screen takes advantage of that with a 7-inch touchscreen mounted to the bar and wired to power and ground, delivering wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto to this classic tourer.
No Factory Radio — Add Your Own Screen
The 1997 Harley-Davidson Road King 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 1997 Road King's open cockpit and lack of a stock fairing display leave the handlebar free for a compact accessory mount without crowding its classic touring look.
The HogPlay Screen clamps to the bar, taps into power and ground, and mounts reversibly, leaving the Road King's original build fully intact.
