The 2001 Harley-Davidson Fat Boy carries the silhouette that made it a cultural icon — solid disc wheels front and rear, a fat 130mm front tire, and the counter-balanced Twin Cam 88B engine Harley built specifically to run smooth in the Softail's rigid-mount frame. It's a bike built on presence, not electronics, which means this Fat Boy left the factory with no radio, no screen, nothing between you and the road. The fix is the 7-inch HogPlay Media Screen, bar-mounted, with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto built right in.
No Factory Radio — Add Your Own Screen
The 2001 Harley-Davidson Fat Boy 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.)

Harley introduced the Fat Boy in 1990, and by 2001 it had become shorthand for the stripped-down American cruiser — solid disc wheels, a wide front tire, staggered dual exhaust, and a stance built on muscle rather than trim. Under the tank sits the Twin Cam 88B, engineered with internal counter-balancing to keep the solid-mounted Softail chassis smooth at speed. None of that leaves room for factory navigation or phone integration, which is where the HogPlay Media Screen comes in.
It clamps to the handlebars, wires into a switched power source and ground, and runs wireless CarPlay and Android Auto straight off your phone. Install is fully reversible — no drilling into the fairing, no permanent changes to the Fat Boy's clean factory lines, so the bike stays original whenever you want it back that way.
