The 2008 Harley-Davidson FLHRC Road King Custom pairs classic valanced fenders, laced wheels, and a sidecar rig for stable three-wheel cruising with the fuel-injected Twin Cam 96 big twin under its tank. It's old-school touring done right — chrome, torque, and a low-slung custom stance — but Harley never wired a radio or screen into this platform. Riders bolt on the HogPlay Media Screen instead, a 7-inch bar-mounted display bringing wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto to this 2008 Road King Custom sidecar rig.
No Factory Radio — Add Your Own Screen
The 2008 Harley-Davidson Road King Classic with Sidecar (FLHRC) 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.)

The Road King Custom leans into heritage styling — valanced fenders, laced wheels, and low bars — while the sidecar keeps the whole rig planted for relaxed two-up cruising. Behind those bars, the Twin Cam 96 delivers smooth, torquey power suited to hauling a passenger and sidecar down the highway without strain.
Mounting the HogPlay Media Screen takes minutes: clamp it to the handlebars, run power and ground to the battery, and you're done. The mount is reversible, so it reads right whether it ends up above or off to the side of the factory gauges — no dash cutting, no fairing removal, just a clean bar-mounted setup that keeps this 2008 FLHRC's classic lines intact.
