I assume you mean pre 2016 models? 2016 and newer softails have electronic throttle. Just need the left hand control (which I have a used one if you want to save some $$$) and reflash the ECM for cruise and you got it.
Now, any cable throttle models, I saw maybe one good product that was aftermarket. It was about $1,000 for the kit IIRC. Personally, I tried to convert my '14 Breakout to electronic throttle but came up short in the end.

I'm shopping for my next bike... a Slim and debating the S verses the non-S. I've come to realize that what I want from the S model is the cruise control and hydro clutch...
Your reply has helped me narrow the field... I think I might go for this one that I saw on a local Craigslist add and then add the cruise later when I get it figured out.

Yea, I didn't notice the 2016 models didn't have the push-pull throttle cables.

If you get one that has electronic throttle and it doesn't have the cruise control module, I'll sell the one I have for $125. You would have to use the molex seal off your current plug harness and I stripped a screw in the bracket that holds the clutch switch. It still works 100% as is. I just give full disclosure if you are interested.
