The 2009 Harley-Davidson Nightster ditched the chrome for a blacked-out, stripped-street look — cast wheels, a short-cut rear fender, and pulled-back drag bars sitting over the Evolution 1200 (1,202cc) V-twin that gives it real low-end shove for a bike this lean. What the Nightster never had was a dash speaker or infotainment of any kind — just a headlight and bare bars. HogPlay fixes that with a bar-mounted HogPlay Media Screen that bolts right onto that stripped cockpit.
No Factory Radio — Add Your Own Screen
The 2009 Harley-Davidson Nightster 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.)

Introduced to bring a darker, more aggressive attitude to the Sportster line, the Nightster paired murdered-out styling with the torquey Evolution 1200 engine, keeping weight down and stance low so it handled like the minimalist street bike it was built to be. That same bare-bones cockpit — no gauges to work around, no fairing to fill — is exactly what makes it such a clean canvas for an add-on screen.
The 7-inch HogPlay Media Screen clamps to those drag bars alongside your existing controls, with a built-in speaker so you get sound without cutting into the fender or tail for a separate box. Wiring taps only power and ground, no splicing into the Nightster's existing harness, and pairs wirelessly with Apple CarPlay or Android Auto for turn-by-turn and music. Mount is fully reversible, so the bike goes back to stock in minutes if you ever sell it.
A 2009 Nightster runs a stripped-down, blacked-out attitude, and the HogPlay Media Screen keeps that minimalist look intact while adding real function up front. Dual Bluetooth handles two jobs at once: one channel mirrors your phone wirelessly for Apple CarPlay or Android Auto turn-by-turn, the other pairs to an auxiliary amp, handlebar speakers, or a portable speaker riding in your saddlebag. A small built-in speaker delivers voice prompts and light audio even with nothing else paired. The housing is fully sealed and waterproof, built rugged enough for a bike whose Evolution 1200 doesn't get garaged for weather.
