The 1998 Harley-Davidson Road King closed out the decade with the Evolution 1340 and its signature detachable windshield, but the cockpit stayed as simple as ever — no factory radio, no screen, just an open handlebar. The HogPlay Media Screen was made for touring bikes like this one, mounting to the bar and wiring into power and ground to bring wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto to a Road King that never had a screen.
No Factory Radio — Add Your Own Screen
The 1998 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 1998 Road King's uncluttered cockpit leaves room on the handlebar for a compact accessory mount without disrupting its classic touring stance.
The HogPlay Screen attaches to the bar, draws power and ground from the existing harness, and installs reversibly, keeping the Road King's original controls unchanged.
