The 2001 Harley-Davidson Low Rider carries the stripped-down, drag-style attitude that's defined the model since the 1970s — low-slung stance, dual headlamps, and staggered shorty duals over a Twin Cam 88 engine, the counter-balanced 88 cubic-inch V-twin Harley introduced in 1999 to smooth out the ride without losing that big-twin thump. What it never had was a factory radio or infotainment of any kind. The fix for this 2001 Low Rider is the 7-inch HogPlay Media Screen, adding wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto to a bike that was born a generation before touchscreens existed.
No Factory Radio — Add Your Own Screen
The 2001 Harley-Davidson Low Rider 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 Low Rider's whole reason for being is minimalism — low bars, a low seat, and nothing extra bolted on, which is exactly why it never got a dash-mounted stereo from the factory. The Twin Cam 88 underneath handles the miles just fine; it's the cockpit that's been left in 1970s territory ever since. The HogPlay Media Screen respects that stripped layout instead of fighting it.
Installation clamps the screen to the handlebars in view of the rider, then runs two wires to power and ground — no dash to cut into, no factory harness to splice, and no permanent changes to the bike. The mount is reversible, so a 2001 Low Rider can go back to fully stock any time the owner wants.
