The 1997 Harley-Davidson Springer Softail carried its retro front end and Evolution 1340 into another model year, with a cockpit that remained entirely analog — no radio, no factory screen, just an open handlebar. That clean slate makes the HogPlay Media Screen a natural fit: a 7-inch touchscreen that mounts to the bar and wires into power and ground, giving this vintage-styled Softail wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
No Factory Radio — Add Your Own Screen
The 1997 Harley-Davidson Springer Softail 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 Springer Softail's minimalist dash leaves the handlebar open for a small accessory mount that doesn't compete with its classic springer-fork styling.
The HogPlay Screen bolts to the bar, taps power and ground from the existing harness, and installs reversibly, so the Springer's original build stays untouched.
Add modern connectivity to the 1997 Springer Softail with the HogPlay Media Screen, a 7-inch bar-mounted touchscreen built for bikes that never came with one. One Bluetooth channel handles CarPlay or Android Auto navigation and calls from your phone, and a second pairs at the same time to an aux amp, handlebar speakers, or a portable Bluetooth speaker. A small built-in speaker covers turn-by-turn prompts on its own. Fully sealed and waterproof, the housing is built to last as long as the Springer's classic styling stays in fashion.
