The 2005 Harley-Davidson Road King Police Escort is the fleet workhorse behind countless motorcades and highway patrols, built off the Road King's classic touring chassis with the fork-mounted fairing pulled and a lean, purpose-built silhouette instead. Power comes from the air-cooled Twin Cam 88, the big twin that carried Harley's touring and Softail lines through the early 2000s with torquey, low-rpm pull suited to slow-speed escort work and long-haul patrol alike. Like every Road King of this era, it left the factory with no navigation, no infotainment, and no way to run Apple CarPlay — the HogPlay Media Screen fixes that on this 2005 Road King Police Escort.

No Factory Radio — Add Your Own Screen

The 2005 Harley-Davidson Road King Police Escort 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.)

We also stock universal parts that fit the 2005 Harley-Davidson Road King Police Escort and most other motorcycles — standalone CarPlay screens and universal USB power.

About the 2005 Harley-Davidson Road King Police Escort

Stripped of the touring fairing and dressed for duty, the Road King Police Escort keeps the Road King's low, wide stance and easy handling while trading windshield bulk for visibility and quick maneuvering through traffic. The Twin Cam 88 underneath does the same job it did in every big twin of the era: steady, dependable torque that shrugs off idling in a motorcade or holding pace on the interstate.

Because this bike never came with a dash-mounted display, the HogPlay Media Screen mounts straight to the handlebars where a rider can see and reach it. Installation is a bar-clamp mount plus two wires — power and ground — and nothing else to splice or gut from the stock wiring. It's reversible too, so a departmento swap it between bikes or return this Road King to stock is a five-minute job, not a rewire.

Turn this 2005 Road King Police Escort into a connected ride with the HogPlay Media Screen, a 7-inch bar-mounted display built to handle patrol duty and everything else the road throws at it. Dual Bluetooth lets you pair a phone for wireless Apple CarPlay or Android Auto on one channel while a second channel feeds an auxiliary amp, handlebar speakers, or a portable Bluetooth speaker, and a small built-in speaker handles turn-by-turn voice prompts and light audio right out of the box. The whole unit is fully sealed and waterproof, so rain, dust, and vibration on this Road King aren't a concern.
