Default Part question

I feel like a dumbass but I'm having trouble finding a part or finding what it's called. The bike is a 2012 softail slim. The part I'm looking for is the plastic clip that holds the throttle/idle cables close to the frame. It has a loop on the end of it and comes together on the other end and clips in near the wiring harness. There's 2 of them on the bike.

No, 15 holds them together as they move up towards the handle bars. I think. What I'm looking for is what press them into the plastic piece that holds the wiring harness to the frame. If that makes sense.

If you look at http://partsfinder.onlinemicrofiche....Y%20W/%20GRIPS

#12 the "wire through" shows the plastic piece I'm talking about. The throttle clips I need plug into that.

15 hold the throttle cable together while they are routed under the tank.
12 is the tensioner to tighten and loosen pressure on 11
11 is a friction shoe - kind of like a brake shoe for the throttle grip

It's not #16 in the drawing?
I had a couple left over "Cable strap plug ins " from touring bikes, part #'s 10073 and 10177. They look like cable ties with a end that pushes into a hole in the frame.

Those might work. It's literally a part that pushes into the plastic covering on the frame and has a loop on the end like you could make with those ties.
