The 1998 Sportster 1200 Custom rounded out its Evolution-powered run with the same forward-control stance and the same blank instrument panel. No screen, no stereo, just gauges.
The HogPlay Media Screen changes that with a 7-inch bar-mounted touchscreen wired to power and ground, giving the 1998 1200 Custom wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for the first time.
No Factory Radio — Add Your Own Screen
The 1998 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.
The 1998 Sportster 1200 Custom finally gets a screen with the HogPlay Media Screen. Dual Bluetooth pairs to your phone for wireless CarPlay or Android Auto and separately to an aux amp, handlebar speakers, or a portable Bluetooth speaker. A small speaker built into the unit covers turn-by-turn prompts alone if that's all you're running. The housing stays fully sealed, waterproof, and rugged through rain, dust, and vibration.
