You would need a hydraulic bench press in order to do it.

so once the cover is off, the springs could be put back on with the cover off? or are they just not made that way. In other words, will i need to buy different springs to get that look?

It is easy'r to just buy different shocks and just bolt them on. Although it is your time and money.

I'll trade you my uncovered Street Bob shocks for your covered Fat Bob. They are the same length.
