The 2008 Harley-Davidson Road King Shrine carries the fez-and-scimitar Shriners badge on a touring platform that had just come into its own — this was the first model year of the Twin Cam 96, the 96-cubic-inch big twin that replaced the old Twin Cam 88 and gave the King noticeably more low-end torque for hauling a passenger and saddlebags down the highway. Classic spoked wheels, a wide windshield, and that unmistakable King silhouette, but like every Road King of the era, no factory radio or infotainment of any kind. Bolt on the HogPlay Media Screen and this 2008 Road King Shrine finally gets wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto up front.
No Factory Radio — Add Your Own Screen
The 2008 Harley-Davidson Road King Shrine 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.)

Shrine editions were built for members to ride with pride, and the 2008 Road King Shrine wears that heritage well — full-dress touring comfort, a torquey Twin Cam 96, and a wide-open cockpit that never had a stereo cut into it from the factory. That blank space is exactly what makes the HogPlay Media Screen such a clean fit: a 7-inch display that clamps to the handlebar in view of the rider, with no fairing or dash panel to modify.
Installation is straightforward — mount the bracket to the bars, run power and ground to the battery, and you're done. It's fully reversible, so nothing about the bike's stock look or resale value is compromised if it ever comes off.
