Might help to know what bike you're working on.

2019 Softail Slim . The slider covers are metal , you can grab them and they will spin side to side about 1/4 " either way . Thanks

Not sure I understand what you mean by sliders? Do you mean the cow bells that connect to the triple tree to cover the forks?

There should be two screws going through the lower triple tree to secure the slider covers. You may have to remove the upper covers to access them.

I thought you were talking about the lower covers. I don’t know how the upper covers work on the newer Slim.
