The 1998 Harley-Davidson Sportster 883 Custom brought custom styling to the entry-level Sportster line, running the Evolution 883 under a cockpit that kept things simple — no factory radio, no display, just an open handlebar and basic gauges. That blank canvas is exactly where the HogPlay Media Screen fits in, mounting to the bar and wiring to power and ground to bring wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto to a bike that never had a screen at all.
No Factory Radio — Add Your Own Screen
The 1998 Harley-Davidson 883 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 1998 883 Custom's minimal cockpit leaves the handlebar wide open, giving a compact accessory mount plenty of room without disturbing its custom lines.
The HogPlay Screen bolts to the bar, draws power and ground from the existing wiring, and mounts reversibly, leaving the 883 Custom's original styling untouched.
Add real connectivity to the 1998 883 Custom with the HogPlay Media Screen, a 7-inch bar-mounted touchscreen built for bikes with zero factory audio. Dual Bluetooth channels let one link to your phone for CarPlay or Android Auto navigation and calls while a second pairs to an aux amp, handlebar speakers, or a portable Bluetooth speaker simultaneously. A small built-in speaker covers turn-by-turn prompts on its own. The housing is fully sealed and waterproof, ready for whatever roads this entry-level custom cruiser sees next.
