The 2009 Harley-Davidson 1200 Low was built around one idea: get more riders onto a Sportster by dropping the seat and the reach down to something almost anyone can plant both feet under. That low-slung stance, mid-mount controls, and air-cooled Evolution 1200 (1,202cc) V-twin make it one of the friendliest big-twin-feeling machines Harley ever built — but like every Sportster of this era, it left the factory with bare bars and zero infotainment. Bolt on a HogPlay Media Screen and this approachable cruiser finally gets sound and navigation to match its easy-riding nature.
No Factory Radio — Add Your Own Screen
The 2009 Harley-Davidson 1200 Low 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 pitched the 1200 Low as the accessible Sportster, and the numbers back it up: a seat height cut down from the standard XL, a shorter reach to the bars, and enough Evolution 1200 torque to still feel like a real Harley once you're rolling. It's a bike built for confidence at a stoplight and character on the open road, all without the weight or bulk of the touring lineup.
Because the 1200 Low never came with a factory radio or screen, the HogPlay Media Screen was designed to bolt straight onto its narrow bars — a 7-inch unit with a built-in speaker and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, so music, calls, and turn-by-turn just work. Installation is two wires, power and ground, no splicing into the bike's factory harness, and every mounting hole is fully reversible if you ever want the bars back to stock.
