I went with the roller chain conversion on my '99 Ultra, and can attest to the work up that TQ did. Check this out to determine if this is something you want to tackle yourself.
When I disassembled the cam plate, the front tensioner was 95% gone and the rear about 75% dead. The reason I spent the extra money doing the conversion is that I wanted to do it once (hopefully). The newer style camplate uses the high volume oil pump and the hydraulic tensioers. I went with SE adjustable pushrods, Andrews 26N cams, a Big Sucker air cleaner and a TFI. I had a set of V&H already on the machine.
Have about 5000 miles on the work and so far no problems. The cams, TFI and air cleaner give the bike a welcome boost.
Good luck....
