The 1999 Harley-Davidson Springer Softail closed out an era: it was the last Softail built with the classic Evolution 1340 big twin before the counter-balanced Twin Cam 88B took over the Softail line in 2000. Its exposed leaf-spring front end and hardtail-look Softail chassis gave it a pre-war silhouette that made it one of the most photographed bikes of the '90s. Like every Harley of this vintage, it left the factory with no radio or infotainment of any kind — so riders who want modern sound and navigation add the HogPlay Media Screen, a bar-mounted 7-inch display built for exactly this problem.
No Factory Radio — Add Your Own Screen
The 1999 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 Springer Softail's whole appeal was theater: that visible, mechanical springer fork up front doing real suspension work in plain sight, paired with a Softail rear end that hid its shocks under the frame to fake a rigid look. It was Harley leaning hard into nostalgia, and in 1999 it did so with the last of the Evolution-powered Softails before the platform moved to Twin Cam power. None of that heritage engineering left room for a stereo, which is where the HogPlay Media Screen comes in.
Installation keeps the bike's clean lines intact. The 7-inch screen clamps to the handlebars, taps into a 12V power and ground source under the tailpiece or battery, and pairs wirelessly with a phone for Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. Mounting is reversible top or bottom, so it sits at whatever angle works best on those springer bars without any permanent cuts or splices to the wiring.
Turn any 1999 Springer Softail into a connected ride with the HogPlay Media Screen. Dual Bluetooth means one channel pairs your phone for wireless Apple CarPlay or Android Auto while the second feeds an auxiliary amp, handlebar speakers, or a portable Bluetooth speaker — and a small built-in speaker on the unit itself handles turn-by-turn voice prompts and light audio on its own. The housing is fully sealed and waterproof, built rugged enough to shrug off rain, road grime, and vibration on a bike this age.
