When this happens with a dual cable setup, the throttle gets a little hard to turn, but you can still ride home safely.
When it happens on a single cable setup, you shut the engine off and pull off to the side of the road.
No matter how well you lube a cable, it will eventually start to wear out and get tight, or break.
Pretty sure any modern carb will have both the throttle and idle cable provision.
Keihin CV carb, S&S carb or Mikuni HS42.
Avoid the old style Keihin butterfly type carb like the one you already have on the 83 Sportster, even if you find one with the dual cable provision, those carbs are like restrictor plates...
