I know that it's a tought nut to hadle, the $1200, but trust me, it's worth it. I just finished doing the roller chain conversion on my '99 Ultra, adding a set of Andrews cams, a Big Sucker air cleaner, a TFI unit, a set of SE adjustable pushrods , replacing the inner cam bearings with the Torrington units, and adding an oil temperature gauge.
I was able to do the work myself and it ran me just about that much. No more tenrioner worries, and oil pressure to spare. With the old setup, I was about 100 miles away from a total tensioner meltdown, they were so worn. In addition, with all of that tensioner particles floating around, the oil pressure was non existant after an hour run. I just got back from a two hour spin, oil temp at about 210 degrees, and oil pressure at 32 pounds....
