Default Sposrtster frame to custom frame????

I just know someone here has taken 04 and newer sportster and dropped into a stetched out frame... I am basically looking at taken the guts of my 09 Nightster and putting into a custom frame. I have seen a few frames I like, looking for what those of u that have done this have come up with...Thanks.
Looking at a rigid style frame....

My dealership told me they'd drop the guts of my sporty onto a new frame for 750 bucks, I dunno why a custom frame would be any different.
