I got rid of mine when I did a bar swap. If you're keeping the same bars, then it will not be as difficult. The Custom models do use a different indicator light setup, though. You would probably have to buy a different indicator (some people call them dummy lights) setup since the Custom models setup will not fit in other speedo housings. Annoying, I know.
Here is a thread I made which has everything I used during my swap, including the new risers, speedo housing, and indicator lights.

I'd say a ballpark estimate would be around $475-500 w/ all parts accounted for. It doesn't seem like it would be that much, but things add up quickly. Bars were $150, new clutch and brake cables were $140 altogether, etc. You get the picture. That being said, I bought most of my parts new. You could probably find some good used take off parts OR get parts (bars, cables) that are a bit cheaper and find yourself in the $400 range.

Exactly. You'd pay a lot more for someone else to do it for you. I did quite a bit of research before I dove on, and there were still some tricky and tedious parts. But with a good bit of research, a shop manual, and some patience, it pays off.
