The 2011 Harley-Davidson 1200 Low takes the classic Sportster stance and drops it closer to the pavement, trading tall-bike intimidation for a squat, planted seating position that put more riders confidently on two wheels. Under the tank sits the air-cooled Evolution 1200 (1,202cc), the same thumping V-twin that's defined Sportster character for decades — raw, mechanical, and unmuffled by any onboard electronics. That's because this bike, like every Sportster, left the factory with bare bars and zero infotainment. HogPlay's 7-inch bar-mounted Media Screen fills that gap without disturbing the stripped-down look.
No Factory Radio — Add Your Own Screen
The 2011 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.)

The 1200 Low trim exists for one reason: accessibility without giving up displacement. Where other Sportsters chase a taller, more aggressive silhouette, the 2011 1200 Low keeps the Evolution engine's torque and sound while lowering the ride height, making it easier to flat-foot at stops and easier to muscle around a parking lot. It's a bike built for confidence first, and that same low-key, no-frills philosophy is exactly why it shipped without a speaker or screen anywhere near the bars.
Fixing that doesn't mean cutting into the tank or running wires through the frame. The HogPlay Media Screen clamps directly to the handlebars, connects to power and ground, and pairs wirelessly with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto — turn-by-turn, calls, and music through its built-in speaker. No factory harness to splice, and since the whole install is just two wires, it comes off just as easily if you ever want the bars bare again.
