The 2003 Harley-Davidson FLTR/I Road Glide arrived in Harley's 100th Anniversary year, distinguished by its frame-mounted "shark-nose" fairing and dual headlamps rather than the fork-mounted batwing on the Electra Glide, and powered by the Twin Cam 88 — a torquey 1450cc big twin built for hauling serious miles, sidecar rig included. That frame-mount fairing keeps weight off the forks, a real advantage for sidecar stability at speed. What this 2003 FLTR/I never got was a factory radio or screen. The fix: HogPlay's 7-inch bar-mounted Media Screen, adding wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
No Factory Radio — Add Your Own Screen
The 2003 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.)

Harley built the FLTR/I Road Glide as the road-focused alternative to the Electra Glide, sharing the Twin Cam 88 engine but hanging its fairing off the frame instead of the forks for a lower center of gravity and steadier tracking — a trait that matters even more once a sidecar is bolted on, where extra unsprung, fork-mounted weight is the last thing a rig wants. The centennial trim and badging that marked Harley's 100th year round out this bike's story.
Adding modern connectivity is straightforward. The HogPlay Media Screen mounts to the handlebars, wires directly to a switched power source and ground, and installs reversibly — flip or angle it to clear the fairing or sidecar controls, with no cutting or permanent changes to the bike.
