Default cruise control

Is there anyway to have real cruise on a 2022 or older Sportster ?
My last Sportster a 06, 1200 C I know it couldn't be done. Since 2010 every Harley I owned had cruise. I can't ride without it now. I know the 2023 Nightster S comes with it, but I'm not sure I want one of them.

i have nerve issues due to major neck injury so i know what you are talking about when it comes to getting used to it.. i have it on my street glide and love it
but for the sportster i think im just going to go with a " brake away " unit... had one of those on my Switchback and it worked very well on 300 mile days
for giving the hand/wrist a break
