Angry Cruise Control on Road King

So I was riding this past weekend Sat and Sunday and on Sunday my bike just starts starts hanging up at around 2000 RPMs. I pull off the road and shut down and find my cruise control cable had worked its way out of the holder and was now shorter and holding open the throttle.

I put it back and it did it again so I just disconnected it. I am wondering if this has happened to anyone in the past and what they have done to fix it. The cable is not threaded so there are no nuts (like a dirt bike or regular carb) to hold it in place. I was thinking of safety wiring it in place but has anyone else had this issue?

It happened on a side road with little traffic so it was not that big of an issue but it could have been one.

Anyway, feedback would be appreciated. Thanks

Bike is a 2006 RK with a 103, SE Race Tuner, 10,000+ mile no other issues.

You can check HD's website Parts and Accessories for Touring models to find the cruise control kit for your bike and download the installation instructions that include the parts. This may be your installation instructions:

If the cable came off the throttle, the retaining clip came off; p/n 11193.
