1999 was a turning point for the Road King: it was the first year Harley dropped the Evolution big twin in favor of the all-new Twin Cam 88, and this sidecar-prepped FLHR carried that fresh engine straight into three-wheel touring duty. With the extra stability and cargo capacity of a hack, this 1999 Road King was built for long-haul comfort — but like every bike of its era, it left the factory with no radio or infotainment of any kind. The fix is the HogPlay Media Screen, a 7-inch bar-mounted display that brings modern connectivity to a bike that never had it.
No Factory Radio — Add Your Own Screen
The 1999 Harley-Davidson Road King with Sidecar (FLHR) 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 sidecar-equipped 1999 Road King paired classic touring ergonomics — wide floorboards, a windshield, and that unmistakable Road King stance — with the added planted feel of a third wheel, making it a favorite for riders who wanted stability without giving up big-twin power. The new-for-'99 Twin Cam 88 gave it noticeably smoother, torquier delivery than the outgoing Evolution motor it replaced, a meaningful upgrade for a bike hauling extra weight and width down the highway.
Since this Road King never came with a screen or speakers, HogPlay's 7-inch unit mounts right to the handlebars where you can see and reach it. It wires directly to power and ground, so there's no complicated harness work, and the housing is reversible for either bar orientation — a clean, straightforward install on a sidecar rig or a solo-ridden Road King alike.
