2012 was the Seventy-Two's debut year, and Harley-Davidson didn't ease into it — a fat 16-inch front tire, a stubby peanut tank, and low-swept drag bars gave this Sportster a chopped, old-school stance unlike anything else in the line. Under that blacked-out styling sits the Evolution 1200 (1,202cc), a torquey air-cooled V-twin that keeps the whole package raw and mechanical. Raw also means empty: the 2012 Seventy-Two left the factory with bare bars and zero infotainment, so any modern connectivity has to be bolted on.
No Factory Radio — Add Your Own Screen
The 2012 Harley-Davidson Seventy-Two 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 Seventy-Two's whole design language points backward on purpose — that peanut tank and fat front hoop are a direct nod to early chopper culture, and Harley leaned into it with minimal switchgear and an uncluttered cockpit. It's a stripped-down riding experience by design, which is exactly why the bars stay bare: there was never a windscreen, speaker, or display to begin with, just the Evolution 1200 doing the talking.
Adding the HogPlay Media Screen works with that layout rather than against it. The 7-inch unit clamps to the Seventy-Two's low drag bars, pulls power and ground from the bike's existing electrical system, and brings wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto with its own built-in speakers — no dash to cut into, no factory harness to splice. Every wire connects the same way it comes out, so the install is fully reversible if you ever want the bars bare again.
Custom paint and a peanut tank make the 2012 Seventy-Two a bike people build around, and the HogPlay Media Screen was built to slot into that setup rather than dominate it. Dual Bluetooth channels split the workload — one syncs to your phone for wireless Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, the other pairs separately to a portable Bluetooth speaker, auxiliary amp, or handlebar speakers. Turn-by-turn prompts and light audio come through a small onboard speaker even without an external pairing, all inside a fully sealed, waterproof, rugged housing that can handle whatever the Evolution 1200 kicks up on a summer cruise.
