2001 Harley-Davidson Flhr/I Sidecar — HogPlay 7-inch CarPlay & Android Auto screen fitment
Factory codeFLHRI
EngineTwin Cam 88
Factory head unitNo factory options — HogPlay Screen recommended
Factory USB locationNone

The 2001 Harley-Davidson Road King Road King with Sidecar paired classic hydra-glide styling — deep-skirted fender, spoked wheels, chrome and leather — with the stability and passenger room of a factory-prepped sidecar rig, all backed by the Twin Cam 88. Built for steady, all-day miles rather than modern tech, 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 with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto that bolts on without touching the stock dash.

No Factory Radio — Add Your Own Screen

The 2001 Harley-Davidson Road King with Sidecar (FLHRI) 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.)

We also stock universal parts that fit the 2001 Harley-Davidson Road King with Sidecar (FLHRI) and most other motorcycles — standalone CarPlay screens and universal USB power.

About the 2001 Harley-Davidson Road King with Sidecar (FLHRI)

Sidecar-equipped Road Kings like this 2001 FLHR/I were engineered for stable three-wheel cruising, not connectivity — there's no dash cutout, no factory wiring harness, and no place for a screen to live. The HogPlay Media Screen solves that without modifying the sidecar hardware, the front end, or the original dash.

Installation is straightforward: the unit clamps to the handlebars in the rider's line of sight, then taps into a switched power source and a chassis ground for the electrical hookup. That's the entire process. Because the mount is fully reversible, nothing about the fork, dash, or sidecar rig is permanently altered, and the screen comes off just as easily as it went on.

Every 2001 Road King FLHR/I Sidecar deserves modern audio without cutting into that classic dash, and the HogPlay Media Screen delivers it: dual Bluetooth pairs your phone for wireless CarPlay or Android Auto while a second channel feeds an amp, handlebar speakers, or a portable Bluetooth speaker. A built-in speaker covers turn-by-turn prompts and light audio on its own, and the whole unit is fully sealed and waterproof against rain and road grime.
