The 2011 Harley-Davidson Standard Sidecar pairs Harley's bare-bones Softail platform with a sidecar rig, riding on the Twin Cam 96 big twin that powered the Softail lineup through this era. Stripped of extra chrome and bodywork in true "Standard" fashion, this setup was built for utility and stability rather than showroom flash — a working three-wheel machine, not a cruiser posing for photos. One thing it never got from the factory, sidecar or not, was a radio. HogPlay fixes that with the 7-inch bar-mounted HogPlay Media Screen.
No Factory Radio — Add Your Own Screen
The 2011 Harley-Davidson Standard Sidecar 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.)

Softail Standard models traded fairings, tour packs, and extra brightwork for a leaner, lighter build, and bolting on a sidecar only reinforces that no-frills mission — this is a rig meant to be ridden and worked, not babied. The Twin Cam 96 underneath delivers the same broad, low-rpm torque that made the Softail line a natural choice for hitching up a third wheel, with enough pull to handle the added weight and drag a sidecar brings to the equation.
Installing the HogPlay Media Screen doesn't touch any of that setup. The 7-inch unit clamps to the handlebars in minutes, wires straight to a switched power source and ground, and mounts reversibly so it can come back off clean if the bike ever changes hands — a simple way to bring Apple CarPlay and Android Auto to a bike, and rig, that was never wired for either.
