The 2011 Harley-Davidson 883 Low earns its name honestly: a dropped seat height and shortened suspension travel put this Sportster's saddle within easy reach of nearly any inseam, making it one of the most approachable entry points into the Evolution 883 (883cc) V-twin lineup. That accessibility comes at a cost, though — Harley never wired a stereo into the Low's bare bars. Riders filling that gap are turning to the 7-inch HogPlay Media Screen, a bar-mounted unit built for exactly this kind of stripped-down cruiser.
No Factory Radio — Add Your Own Screen
The 2011 Harley-Davidson 883 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.)

Harley built the 883 Low as the low-and-light answer to intimidating cruisers, pairing its air-cooled Evolution 883cc engine with a chassis tuned for confident, flat-footed stops rather than raw power. It's a bike meant to be ridden often and ridden relaxed, which is exactly when riders notice the silence where music should be — the 2011 Low, like every Sportster of its era, shipped with nothing but bare handlebars.
The HogPlay Media Screen closes that gap without touching the frame or wiring harness. The 7-inch display clamps directly to the Low's bars, taps into power and ground only, and streams audio through wireless Apple CarPlay or Android Auto to its built-in speaker. No dash cutting, no fairing to modify — and since the mount is fully reversible, the bike goes back to stock in minutes if you ever sell it.
