The 2010 Harley-Davidson Forty-Eight arrived as the stripped-down, bobber-inspired newcomer to the Sportster line — a stubby 2.1-gallon peanut tank, fat 130mm front tire, and blacked-out finish giving it a squat, muscular stance unlike any other Sportster. Power comes from the air-cooled Evolution 1200 (1,202cc), rubber-mounted for a smoother ride at idle and on the highway. True to its minimalist build, the Forty-Eight left the factory with bare bars and zero infotainment — riders who want music or navigation up front need to add it themselves with the HogPlay Media Screen.
No Factory Radio — Add Your Own Screen
The 2010 Harley-Davidson Forty-Eight 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.)

Everything about the 2010 Forty-Eight was designed to look like it had nothing extra bolted on — that peanut tank, the low pulled-back bars, and the blacked-out Evolution 1200 engine all reinforce a raw, old-school bobber silhouette. It's a bike built for short, punchy rides where feel and attitude matter more than range or comfort, and that same bare-bones layout means there's no dash cutout, no fairing, and no wiring harness waiting for a stereo.
The HogPlay Media Screen works with that simplicity instead of fighting it. The 7-inch screen clamps directly to the Forty-Eight's bars, taps into power and ground only — no factory harness to splice into — and pairs wirelessly with a phone for Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, with sound handled by its own built-in speaker. Because the mount is reversible, the bike goes right back to its clean, screen-free look whenever you want it that way.
Stripped-down and mean, the 2010 Forty-Eight is exactly the kind of bike the HogPlay Media Screen was designed for, matching its Evolution 1200 attitude with real tech. Two Bluetooth channels run at once: one pairs your phone for wireless Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, the other feeds an auxiliary amp, handlebar speakers, or a portable Bluetooth speaker. A small built-in speaker handles turn-by-turn voice prompts and light audio without cluttering the bars. The fully sealed, waterproof, rugged housing means it can take the abuse a peanut-tank Forty-Eight dishes out.
