The 2006 Harley-Davidson 1200 Roadster was the sharpest-handling Sportster Harley built that year — dual front disc brakes, cast alloy wheels, and trimmed-down fenders gave it a sportier stance than the Custom or Low models, with the Evolution 1200 (1,202cc) V-twin putting steady punch under that stripped-down profile. Like every Sportster, it left the factory with bare bars and zero infotainment — no radio, no screen, nothing. The fix is HogPlay's 7-inch bar-mounted Media Screen, which clamps onto those bars and pipes in wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto through a built-in speaker.
No Factory Radio — Add Your Own Screen
The 2006 Harley-Davidson 1200 Roadster 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 Roadster to be the sportiest Sportster of its generation — dual front discs bite harder than the single-disc XL variants of the era, and the Evolution 1200 delivers steady low-end torque that suits the bike's stripped-down, corner-friendly demeanor. What it never got was a dash, a windscreen, or anywhere to mount electronics, which is exactly the gap the HogPlay Media Screen fills.
Mounting is straightforward: the 7-inch screen clamps to the Roadster's bars, taps into power and ground only, and needs no dash cutting or fairing modification. It runs wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto through its own built-in speaker, and because the whole install is just two wire connections, it comes off just as easily if you ever sell the bike or move it to another ride.
The 2006 1200 Roadster carried forward its sport-suspension setup for riders who wanted a Sportster that handled with a bit more edge, and the HogPlay Media Screen brings the same edge to navigation and audio. Dual Bluetooth runs two connections simultaneously: your phone for wireless Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, plus an auxiliary amp, handlebar speakers, or a portable Bluetooth speaker. A built-in speaker handles turn-by-turn voice prompts on its own too. Fully sealed and waterproof, the rugged housing suits the Evolution 1200's exposed riding position in any weather.
