The 2018 Harley-Davidson Street Rod was the sportiest thing Harley built on the Street platform, and its only two model years — 2017 and 2018 — make it one of the shortest-lived bikes in the lineup. A revised chassis, inverted front fork, radial brakes, and mid-mount controls set it apart from the standard Street 750, while the liquid-cooled High Output Revolution X 749cc V-Twin brought sharper throttle response for real cafe-racer manners. Harley never fitted the Street Rod with a factory radio or screen, so riders who want turn-by-turn navigation and music get there with the bar-mounted HogPlay Media Screen.
No Factory Radio — Add Your Own Screen
The 2018 Harley-Davidson Street Rod 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.)

Where the Street 750 leaned toward laid-back cruiser ergonomics, the Street Rod pushed the same liquid-cooled platform toward performance: sport-tuned remote-reservoir rear shocks, increased lean angle, and cast aluminum wheels wrapped in stickier rubber. It's a compact, narrow machine built for tossing through corners rather than cruising the boulevard, which makes bar-mounted electronics a natural fit rather than an afterthought.
The HogPlay Media Screen mounts directly to the Street Rod's handlebar, keeping the clean, blacked-out cockpit intact. Installation is straightforward: run power and ground to the battery, and the unit is ready to go. It pairs wirelessly with your phone for Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, and the whole mount is reversible, so nothing about the bike's factory look is permanently altered.
