The 2004 Harley-Davidson FLTR/I Road Glide paired its shark-nose fairing with a factory-approved sidecar rig, turning the frame-mounted fork into a genuine three-wheel hauler backed by the Twin Cam 88's steady 88 cubic inches of low-end pull. That extra wheel means extra stability at low speed but zero help with music or navigation, since sidecar-equipped Road Glides of this era shipped with no built-in screen at all. Riders running a 2004 FLTR/I with a hack bolt a HogPlay Media Screen to the bars and finally get real audio and turn-by-turn up front.
No Factory Radio — Add Your Own Screen
The 2004 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.)

A sidecar changes how you ride a Road Glide — steering input, throttle habits, and passenger chatter from the tub all compete for your attention, and the stock 2004 FLTR/I dash offers nothing to help you keep track of a call or a route. The Twin Cam 88 underneath still delivers that classic big-twin thump, but the cockpit stays analog: speedometer, tach, warning lights, done. The HogPlay Media Screen fills that gap without touching the sidecar hardware. It clamps to the handlebar, taps into a 12V power source and a solid ground, and mounts in either orientation, so it stays legible whether you're upright or leaned into the rig's odd handling.
