The 2016 Harley-Davidson 1200 Custom is the Sportster line at its most classic cruiser-custom — pulled-back handlebars, a low, laid-back stance, and a wide rear tire that give it more stretch and swagger than the stripped 883 or blacked-out Forty-Eight. Power comes from the air-cooled Evolution 1200 (1,202cc), the same pushrod V-twin that's carried the Sportster nameplate for decades. Like every Sportster off the factory floor, the 1200 Custom rolled out with bare bars — no radio, no screen, nothing but switches. HogPlay's 7-inch HogPlay Media Screen fixes that.
No Factory Radio — Add Your Own Screen
The 2016 Harley-Davidson 1200 Custom 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 1200 Custom trades the Sportster line's stripped-down minimalism for a bit more cruiser presence — a fatter rear tire, pulled-back bars, and chrome touches that set it apart from the leaner 883 and blacked-out Forty-Eight. Under the tank, the air-cooled Evolution 1200 (1,202cc) keeps things simple and torquey down low, the same formula that's defined Sportster character for decades. What this platform never offered from the factory is a place to run navigation or music — Harley never built a screen or radio into the Sportster line.
The HogPlay Media Screen mounts right to those bars, in easy view and reach. Installation is just two wires — power and ground — so there's no splicing into the factory harness and no dash to cut into. It pairs wirelessly with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto and drives its own built-in speaker, and because the mount is bar-clamp based, the whole setup comes off just as easily as it went on.
Bring modern tech to a 2016 1200 Custom with the HogPlay Media Screen, engineered to keep pace with the Evolution 1200 engine under the tank. Its dual Bluetooth setup covers both jobs at once — wireless Apple CarPlay or Android Auto on one channel, and an auxiliary amp, handlebar speakers, or a portable Bluetooth speaker on the second. A small built-in speaker takes care of turn-by-turn voice prompts and light audio when you want to leave your phone in your pocket. The fully sealed, waterproof, rugged housing is built for long rides in any weather this Custom sees.
