The 2001 Harley-Davidson FLHR Road King with sidecar puts the touring flagship's classic tank-mounted gauges, spoked wheels, and Twin Cam 88 big-twin muscle to work hauling a passenger in style, three-wheeling comfort that made the Road King a favorite for long-haul riders and sidecar conversions alike. What it never got from the factory is any kind of radio or infotainment. The fix bolts straight to the bars: the 7-inch HogPlay Media Screen brings wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto to this 2001 Road King rig without touching the dash.
No Factory Radio — Add Your Own Screen
The 2001 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.)

Riding a sidecar rig changes the math on distraction — both hands are working the bars constantly to manage the pull of the chair, and a phone in your pocket is the last place you want turn-by-turn directions. The Road King's Twin Cam 88 was built for exactly this kind of mile-eating duty, and the HogPlay screen is built to match it: a compact, weatherproof unit that clamps to the handlebar, well within reach and sightline even with a sidecar's altered ergonomics.
Install is straightforward on this 2001 FLHR. Mount the bracket to the bar, run the two wires to a switched power source and a solid ground, and you're done — no dash cutting, no tapping into the stock wiring harness. The bracket flips for right- or left-side mounting, so it adapts to however the sidecar frame is set up.
