Just did mine a couple of weeks ago as it had been using oil since i bought it with 4000 miles on it. It would use a quart every 2500 miles so i decided to go for it. If it's running good, cam tensioners have been changed, and it's not burning oil, i think i'd leave it alone. My top end rebuild now sounds like an antique thrashing machine so i'm not real happy with it, but pulls like a freight train so i'll learn to live with it.

Jerry,
I retired from the MOCO a short time ago but while there I have seen numerous twin cam motors with over 100,000 mi. You have one of the best twin cam's Harley built (99-02), so if it isn't using oil and your satisfied with the power- keep on riding.
