The 2001 Harley-Davidson Road King carries the Twin Cam 88, the second-generation big twin that replaced the Evolution engine just two years earlier and gave the touring line real pulling power at highway speed. With its sweeping chrome front end, valanced fenders, and detachable windshield, the Road King still wears the classic full-dress silhouette Harley built its reputation on — but like every bike from this era, it left the factory with no radio or infotainment of any kind. The fix for a 2001 Road King rider who wants modern connectivity without gutting the dash is the HogPlay Media Screen.
No Factory Radio — Add Your Own Screen
The 2001 Harley-Davidson Road King 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 Road King in 1994 as the spiritual successor to the old Electra Glide, stripping away excess bodywork to show off the frame and engine while keeping true touring comfort. By 2001, the Twin Cam 88 had settled into the lineup, delivering smoother, torquier performance than the Evo it replaced, and the Road King's blend of cruiser stance and long-haul capability made it a favorite for riders who wanted classic looks without sacrificing miles.
Since this Road King never came with a factory screen, the HogPlay Media Screen mounts cleanly to the handlebar area, right in the rider's line of sight. Installation is straightforward: run power and ground to the battery or an accessory circuit, mount the bracket, and the unit is live. It's fully reversible, so nothing about the bike's stock wiring or dash is permanently altered.
Bring the 2001 Road King into the modern era with the HogPlay Media Screen, a 7-inch bar-mounted display built for exactly this kind of factory-radio-free touring bike. Dual Bluetooth means one channel pairs your phone for wireless Apple CarPlay or Android Auto while the second streams audio out to an auxiliary amp, handlebar speakers, or a portable Bluetooth speaker. A small built-in speaker handles turn-by-turn voice prompts and light audio on its own, and the whole unit is sealed, waterproof, and rugged enough for whatever the road throws at a Road King.
