You cannot get all the pieces you need from Harley anymore. Namely the switch housing. What you can do is hunt eBay forever looking for a housing from an 07 or from 06 and earlier bike. If you find one from an 06 (07 models year went to a different style connector) or earlier bike you will need to change the connector of the harness so it plugs into your bike. To do that you need the correct pins, connector housing and crimp tool and then you need to worry about making sure you get them I'm the right spot in the connector.
Or you can do what I did. I bought a used module from eBay and the 08 up cruise kit. The kit came with everything you need except the bolts and grommets to mount the module, ingot those from a local hardware store. The only difference in the 08 housing is that is for a throttle by wire so it doesn't have holes for you like throttle cables. The housing does have circles on the bottom were the holes should be. I simply drilled two holes for the cables and that's it. Other than needing to drill the holes it's a direct fit, plug and play switch housing. The 08 kit came with the switch housing and rocker switch for the cruise activation.
All said and done I probably had around $300 bucks in the kit piecing it together. That was the 08 up kit from Harley, used cruise control module from eBay and the bolt and grommets from hardware store, which I think Hatley sells but I forgot to buy.

Here are the part numbers I used, the module I got used off ebay since they are NLA from Harley. The cruise kit still looks like it's available.
Cruise control kit is 77196-08
Module is 70989-04
I don't have pictures but the new switch housing literally had circles cast into the housing were the holes need drilled
