The 2013 Harley-Davidson 1200 Custom Limited A wears the low, stretched-out custom stance the XL1200C line is known for — pulled-back bars, a teardrop tank, and laced wheels riding on the air-cooled Evolution 1200 (1,202cc), a mill that's been the heartbeat of the Sportster custom line for decades. Riding through Harley's 110th-anniversary year, this one came bare-bars from the factory: no radio, no screen, nothing to look at but the road. Bolt on the 7-inch HogPlay Media Screen and it's got navigation, music, and calls without touching that stripped-down look.
No Factory Radio — Add Your Own Screen
The 2013 Harley-Davidson 1200 Custom Limited A 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.)

Sportster Customs like this 2013 1200 Custom Limited A were built to be lived on, not fussed over — a torquey Evolution 1200 twin, a low seat height, and a silhouette that hasn't changed much since the platform's early days. That simplicity is exactly why it never got a factory infotainment option; there was never a dash cutout or handlebar wiring harness meant for one.
The HogPlay Media Screen works around that instead of fighting it. The 7-inch unit clamps straight to the bars, has its own built-in speaker so there's no hunting for a fairing to hide one in, and pairs wirelessly with Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. Wiring is just power and ground — no splicing into the stock harness — and the whole install reverses cleanly if you ever want the bars bare again.
