Default Softail Slim fork covers?

Hello and greetings from South Carolina. I have a 2013 softail slim in denim black. I am wanting to black out the top half of my forks. Does anyone know if the HD top half fork covers, cover the entire top half or do they start just below the headlight and go down. The pics I have seen on Google images look like they start just below the headlight, leaving the forks behind the headlight cover uncovered. Thanks for any info given.

You can use a vivid black wrap to cover the upper portion of the forks but not the sliders.

Like this? If not, and you want just the top fork covers in black, you'll have to buy a set made for the Slim S or just take them somewhere and have them powder coated...
