The 2011 Harley-Davidson 1200 Custom is the Sportster line's chrome cruiser — a fat front tire, forward controls, and a low, wide stance built to look expensive without the fairing bulk of a full dresser. Power comes from the air-cooled Evolution 1200 (1,202cc), the same thumping V-twin that's defined the Sportster since the '80s. Like every naked Sportster, the bars carry nothing but switches and mirrors — no radio, no screen, no infotainment of any kind — which is exactly what the bar-mounted HogPlay Media Screen was built to fix.
No Factory Radio — Add Your Own Screen
The 2011 Harley-Davidson 1200 Custom 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 leaned into custom-cruiser cues for the 1200 Custom: staggered shotgun pipes, a stretched tank, and that wide, fat front tire that set it apart from the leaner 883 Roadster and blacked-out Iron models sharing the same era's lineup. It's a bike built for sound and stance, not switchgear — Sportster bars have always been bare metal and cable, and the 1200 Custom is no exception.
Mounting the HogPlay Media Screen keeps that bare-bars character intact: the 7-inch unit clamps directly to the handlebar, wires only to power and ground (no tapping the stock harness, no splicing factory wiring), and pairs wirelessly with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto through its own built-in speaker. The mount is fully reversible, so a stock 1200 Custom stays stock underneath if you ever decide to pull it back off.
The 2011 1200 Custom pairs its Evolution 1200 torque with a stance that begs for a clean cockpit upgrade, which is where the HogPlay Media Screen earns its keep. Two independent Bluetooth channels handle the workload: one keeps your phone tethered for wireless Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, the other pushes sound to an auxiliary amp, handlebar speakers, or a portable Bluetooth speaker. A compact built-in speaker delivers turn-by-turn directions and light audio without extra wiring. The fully sealed, waterproof, rugged housing means it rides through weather the same way this Custom does — unbothered.
