The 2001 Harley-Davidson FLTR/I Road Glide sidecar rig is a rare breed — Milwaukee's shark-nose, frame-mounted fairing bike bolted to a third wheel, built for riders who wanted highway-eating stability and a passenger seat that doesn't lean with the bike. Power comes from the fuel-injected Twin Cam 88, the workhorse V-twin that carried Harley's touring line through the early 2000s. What this 2001 Road Glide with Sidecar never got from the factory was a screen: no radio display, no navigation, nothing. The fix is the HogPlay Media Screen.
No Factory Radio — Add Your Own Screen
The 2001 Harley-Davidson Road Glide with Sidecar (FLTRI) 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.)

Road Glide sidecar outfits like this one trade lean-angle agility for planted, three-wheel confidence — ideal for long interstate hauls, loaded touring, or riders who simply prefer not to put a foot down at stops. The Twin Cam 88 underneath delivers the low-end torque that hauling a sidecar demands, fed by factory EFI for cleaner cold starts and steadier idle than the carbureted bikes it replaced.
None of that changes what's missing up front: a modern display. The HogPlay Media Screen mounts right to the handlebar, clear of the sidecar linkage, and taps into a 12V accessory feed for power plus a solid ground point — no dash cutting, no fairing surgery. Since it wires in rather than replacing anything factory, the install is fully reversible if the bike ever goes back to stock.
