The 2015 Harley-Davidson 883 Roadster is the sport-leaning member of the Sportster line — blacked-out Evolution 883 engine, cast alloy wheels, and a lower, tucked-in stance that trades cruiser chrome for a leaner, street-focused look. Like every Sportster of this era, it left the factory with a speedometer and nothing else: no radio, no screen, no way to run audio off the bars. The fix is the HogPlay Media Screen, a 7-inch bar-mounted unit with a built-in speaker and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
No Factory Radio — Add Your Own Screen
The 2015 Harley-Davidson 883 Roadster 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 883 Roadster's whole identity is minimalism done with intent — no extra bodywork, no touring hardware, just the air-cooled Evolution 883 twin and enough blacked-out finish to sharpen the look without softening the Sportster's raw edge. That bare-bones cockpit is exactly why the HogPlay screen fits: it clamps directly to the handlebars, right where the Roadster already keeps things narrow and uncluttered, and wires to power and ground only — no dash to cut into, no factory harness to splice.
Because the mount is bar-clamp based, the whole install is reversible. Pull it off and the 2015 883 Roadster goes right back to stock form, so adding modern wireless audio never means permanently altering the bike.
