Default sliders on the bike!!

Installed chrome fork sliders on my 07 FLHX today and did it with out removing the forks from the bike. My question is can I just take the caps off the top of the fork and put my fluid back in that way.

Yes, measure it out (11.1 oz I believe) and put it back in. Just need to remove the ignition and inner fairing cap to get to the caps. Replace the gaskets when you reinstall.
