The 2006 Harley-Davidson FLTR/I Road Glide is the sidecar rig rider's Touring pick — that frame-mounted shark-nose fairing tracks straighter and hides less wind than a fork-mounted fairing, which matters a lot once a sidecar is bolted to the right side. Power comes from the fuel-injected Twin Cam 88, the last year before the 96 took over, delivering the low-rpm pull a loaded three-wheel rig needs. Road Glides of this era famously left the factory with no stereo at all, so this 2006 FLTR/I runs silent until you add the HogPlay Media Screen.
No Factory Radio — Add Your Own Screen
The 2006 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 Road Glide to be the no-nonsense Touring option, and in 2006 that meant skipping the factory radio entirely — a blank dash that sidecar owners running long highway hauls have had to work around for years with add-on speakers or nothing at all. The Twin Cam 88 underneath still does the heavy lifting, torquey and proven, even with a sidecar hanging off the frame.
The HogPlay Media Screen closes that gap without touching the fairing or the wiring harness beyond a simple tap. The 7-inch unit clamps to the handlebar, runs two wires to power and ground, and pairs wirelessly with your phone for Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. It mounts reversible, so it reads right whether you're set up for standard bars or adjusted for sidecar-rig ergonomics, and the housing comes off in minutes if you ever change the setup.
