Factory USB locationNone

The 2009 Harley-Davidson 1200 Roadster Roadster closed out the standalone XL1200 Roadster line with the stripped-down, café-inspired stance that made it a favorite among riders who wanted a Sportster with a sportier reach: low-rise bars, mid controls, and cast wheels wrapped around a rubber-mounted, air-cooled 1200cc Evolution V-Twin that's as simple and durable as Milwaukee ever built. Like every naked Sportster of this era, the 2009 1200 Roadster left the factory with no radio, no dash display, and no way to run navigation or music. The HogPlay Media Screen fixes that with a 7-inch bar-mounted display built for exactly this kind of bike.

No Factory Radio — Add Your Own Screen

The 2009 Harley-Davidson 1200 Roadster (XL1200R) 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.)

We also stock universal parts that fit the 2009 Harley-Davidson 1200 Roadster (XL1200R) and most other motorcycles — standalone CarPlay screens and universal USB power.

About the 2009 Harley-Davidson 1200 Roadster (XL1200R)

The 1200 Roadster Roadster earned its name honestly — a raw, stand-up-and-ride Sportster with just enough attitude to separate it from the standard 1200 Custom, running the same torquey Evolution engine that had already proven itself for two decades by 2009. It's light, quick-steering, and built to be ridden hard on back roads, which is exactly the kind of bike that benefits most from a clean, minimal accessory rather than a bulky aftermarket stereo.

Mounting the HogPlay screen keeps that stripped-down look intact. It clamps to the handlebar, taps into a switched power source and ground, and needs no factory harness or dash cutting to install. The bracket is reversible, so it works whether your bars are pulled back café-style or swapped for something else down the line — Apple CarPlay and Android Auto go on wirelessly from there.

Every HogPlay Media Screen runs dual Bluetooth, so the 2009 1200R can pair your phone for wireless Apple CarPlay or Android Auto on one channel while the second feeds an auxiliary amp, handlebar speakers, or a portable Bluetooth speaker for real volume down the highway. A small built-in speaker handles turn-by-turn voice prompts and light audio on its own, no extra gear required. The whole unit is fully sealed and waterproof, built rugged enough to take on rain, road grime, and everything else a Roadster sees.
