How do you torque slider end caps with the handlebars on?
I just replaced my lower sliders and I have done this job a few times, but this time I left the handlebars on. Is there a way to torque the slider end caps on the forks with the handlebars still on? Is it really necessary to pull the handlebars off??

I think he means fork tube, not slider... and I'm guessing he has short risers, so the bars are in the way.
To the OP:
If my guess (above) is correct, it isn't something that needs to be torqued. Just snug them down with a wrench. If you absolutely won't be able to sleep at night unless you tighten to the H-D specified torque value, then you'll either have to remove the bars or get a crows foot adapter for your torque wrench.

Yes...I meant fork tube caps up top. The handlebars are low. I just tighten them up like Mr. Lucky said so they should be fine. Thanks for the crows foot adapter..If I can't sleep, I try that.
