The 2011 Harley-Davidson 883 Roadster wears the sport-leaning end of the Sportster family tree — a narrow, low-slung stance built around the air-cooled Evolution 883 (883cc), with none of the touring bulk that weighs down its bigger siblings. Like every Sportster, it left the factory with bare bars and zero infotainment. HogPlay fixes that with the 7-inch HogPlay Media Screen, a bar-mounted unit that brings wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto to this 2011 883 Roadster without touching its stripped-down look.
No Factory Radio — Add Your Own Screen
The 2011 Harley-Davidson 883 Roadster 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 883 Roadster's appeal has always been simplicity — a compact, lightweight platform where the Evolution 883 engine does the talking and there's little else to get in the way. That minimalism is exactly why riders notice the missing radio once they're used to having navigation or music on other bikes; a Sportster this size was never built with a fairing or dash to hide electronics in.
The HogPlay Media Screen solves it without altering that layout. It clamps to the handlebars in clear view, runs on two wires to power and ground, and pairs wirelessly with your phone for CarPlay or Android Auto — turn-by-turn navigation, calls, and music through its built-in speaker. Nothing is cut or spliced, so the install comes off just as cleanly as it goes on, keeping this 2011 883 Roadster's original bars and wiring intact.
The 2011 883 Roadster's Evolution 883 engine is built for spirited back-road runs, and the HogPlay Media Screen keeps you connected the whole way. Dual Bluetooth channels run together — one pairs your phone for wireless Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, the other streams to an auxiliary amp, handlebar speakers, or a portable Bluetooth speaker. A small built-in speaker covers turn-by-turn voice prompts and light audio when you'd rather leave your phone stowed. Fully sealed, waterproof, and rugged, the housing takes on rain and vibration without missing a beat.
