I believe the hook-up would be a bit involved for a cable controlled throttle. I've put about five or six cruise contols on cars, trucks and vans and you always needed a servo connected to the throttle cable or link. Kind of a bulbous apparatus to hide anywhere on a Dyna.
I've been on a few searches for cruise control for my bike, but always came up empty.
I have the throttle lock type "cruise" and also the hand grip paddles, but it's still hard to maintain a consistant speed, especially in the hilly areas. It would be nice to just set the cruise.
I recall, back in days of old, when I spent I lot of nights at the clubs that always seemed to overserve me. I'd have to drive home using just one eye, so that I had just had one centerline to stay to the right of. Having cruise control allowed me to just focus on driving, my speed was legal.
I haven't driven or ridden that way in decades, but I still depend on cruise control a lot. I have a lead foot and hand.

I don't think this will work on a Dyna. That box has got to get a signal from someplace and I bet the Dyna wire harness doesn't have the plug. My guess is Harleys are like most cars and are wired for every option even if you dont have it....so 9 times out of 10 the plugs and the wires are there. That's why it's a plug and play set up for a touring bike.
