Default Cruise Control on 2012 Road King

So I'm planning on doing new handle bars this winter but I want to start buying what i need now and so while doing this swap I'd really like to add cruise to my King. So a while back I searched for new hand control switches with cruise control and I could have sworn I found exactly what I needed for my bike but I wasn't ready to purchase at the time. Fast forward to now and I can't seem to find these controls, maybe I'm crazy or maybe I was looking at the wrong controls to begin with. All I can find are controls for '08-'13 Street/Road Glides which come standard with cruise or the old style throttle-by-cable type. So my questions are these: Will the replacement Street/Road Glide controls work? Is there already a harness on my bike that they would plug into? Cruise control was an option on 2012 Road Kings right? and if so shouldn't there be a replacement part for these controls?
Thanks for the help!!

Do a search for FLHP cruise control ... here are a few of the results.


I 2008 the touring models went to throttle by wire (no throttle cables) so it sounds like adding the right switches & having the dealer enable cruise control is all that is needed. AFAIK the ECM controls everything and no extra cruise module is needed to move throttle cables because it's throttle by wire.
