The 2011 Harley-Davidson Fat Bob rides on the Dyna platform with a stance built for attitude — fat 130mm front and 180mm rear tires, twin headlamps, and a drag-bar attack that set it apart from every other cruiser in the lineup that year. Power comes from the Twin Cam 96 V-twin, torquey and unmistakably Harley. What the factory left off this era of Dyna is any kind of infotainment — no screen, no radio. The HogPlay Media Screen bolts right to the bars and fixes that.
No Factory Radio — Add Your Own Screen
The 2011 Harley-Davidson Fat Bob 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 hard into the muscle-cruiser look with the 2011 Fat Bob, pairing that wide-tire stance with a mid-mount, forward-leaning riding position that made it one of the most recognizable Dynas on the road. The Twin Cam 96 delivers steady low-end torque through a 6-speed Cruise Drive transmission, the kind of pull that suits its brawny styling.
Since the Fat Bob never came with a factory screen, the HogPlay Media Screen mounts right to the handlebars where it's easy to see at a glance. Installation is straightforward: run power and ground to the battery, mount the bracket, and you're set. It's fully reversible too, so nothing about the bike's stock wiring or look is permanently altered.
