The 2014 Harley-Davidson Forty-Eight wears its attitude up front: a fat 16-inch front tire, a stubby 2.1-gallon peanut tank, and blacked-out finishes throughout give this Sportster the stripped, bobber-inspired stance that made the Forty-Eight an instant custom-culture favorite. Under that tank sits the air-cooled Evolution 1200 (1,202cc), a torquey, no-frills V-twin that suits the bike's minimalist build. That minimalism extends to the cockpit — the 2014 Forty-Eight left the factory with bare bars and zero infotainment, so riders wanting audio or CarPlay/Android Auto need the bolt-on HogPlay Media Screen.
No Factory Radio — Add Your Own Screen
The 2014 Harley-Davidson Forty-Eight 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.)

Everything about the Forty-Eight's design points backward to the flat-track and bobber bikes that inspired it: low-slung drag bars, a solo seat, and that fat front tire tucked tight under narrow forks. It's a bike built to be customized, not accessorized from the factory — which is exactly why the Evolution 1200's simplicity and the bike's clean lines leave an obvious gap where sound and navigation should be.
The HogPlay Media Screen closes that gap without touching the Forty-Eight's stripped-down look. The 7-inch unit clamps to the bars, wires straight to power and ground (no dash, no gauge cluster, no factory harness to splice into), and streams music and turn-by-turn navigation wirelessly through Apple CarPlay or Android Auto with its own built-in speaker. The mount is reversible, so the install leaves no trace if a rider ever wants the bars bare again.
The 2014 Forty-Eight's blacked-out styling gets a functional upgrade with the HogPlay Media Screen, which runs dual Bluetooth channels for real versatility. One channel connects your phone for wireless Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, while the other streams to an auxiliary amp, handlebar speakers, or a portable Bluetooth speaker. A small built-in speaker manages turn-by-turn voice prompts and light audio on its own. The fully sealed, waterproof, rugged housing was built to survive exactly the kind of riding this Evolution 1200-powered Forty-Eight invites.
