The 2026 Sportster S is the current face of Harley's Revolution Max 1250 platform, still a radio-free, screen-free muscle roadster straight off the line. Harley has never wired a display into this model, so every mile is ridden without navigation, calls, or music pulled up on a screen. HogPlay's 7-inch bar-mounted Media Screen changes that, bringing wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto to the handlebars in one self-contained unit.
No Factory Radio — Add Your Own Screen
The 2026 Harley-Davidson Sportster S 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 2026 Sportster S carries Harley's Revolution Max 1250 platform forward as the current flagship of the lineup, still built around bare handlebars and a single analog-style gauge with no screen or stereo of any kind. Harley has never fitted this model with a display, leaving connectivity entirely up to the rider to solve.
That's a real gap on a bike expected to handle daily miles: no built-in navigation, no way to see an incoming call, no music without pulling out a phone. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto put all of that back on the bars, safely out of the rider's pocket.
HogPlay's Media Screen is the natural fit for a 2026 Sportster S that has never had a screen to begin with - a bar-mounted, self-contained 7-inch display with wireless CarPlay and Android Auto built in, running on just power and ground. It also supports Bluetooth audio in and out, so it can pair with a portable Bluetooth speaker or connect into an existing amp and speaker setup for sound.
