My last bike went 26k and I never even looked in the forks, although I did check the valves at 19k because I thought I heard a ticking, which turned out to be 1 valve at the very limit of being servicable (still good), so I adjusted it back to the middle of the recommended range and closed it back up.
wELL WITH THE CHOPPER ITS A MATTER OF 10" LONGER THAN STOCK hd FORKS SO THERE ARE A GREAT MORE FLEX AND WEAR IN THEM.
I also totally agree with you that the filter will break down well before the oil does.

Keep in mind though that I'm just some dude, not an expert of any kind
