The 2018 Harley-Davidson Slim redefined bobber minimalism the year Softail got its biggest shake-up in decades: a stiffer mono-shock frame and the all-new Milwaukee-Eight 107 engine, swapped in place of the old Twin Cam for smoother power and less vibration. Blacked-out finishes, a solo seat, and that signature fat whitewall front tire keep the look pure and low. What the factory left off is a radio — so wiring in the HogPlay Media Screen brings real navigation and music to this stripped-down cruiser without touching its clean lines.
No Factory Radio — Add Your Own Screen
The 2018 Harley-Davidson Slim 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.)

Harley built the Slim to look like it rolled straight out of a custom shop, not a factory line, and the 2018 model backs that up with the redesigned Softail platform underneath — sharper handling, more cornering clearance, and that new Milwaukee-Eight 107 delivering stronger torque than the Twin Cam it replaced. It's a bike built to be ridden bare, which is exactly why most owners never bothered retrofitting a factory infotainment kit.
Round out your 2018 Slim with the HogPlay Media Screen, a 7-inch bar-mounted display that wires straight to power and ground and mounts either way up. Dual Bluetooth lets you pair your phone for wireless Apple CarPlay or Android Auto while a second channel feeds an auxiliary amp, handlebar speakers, or a portable Bluetooth speaker, and a small onboard speaker keeps turn-by-turn prompts and light audio audible on its own. Sealed and waterproof, it's built to shrug off rain, road grime, and vibration ride after ride.
