Well, all done. Just back from the test ride. Smooth as silk.
Could my OEM bearings have been greased and adjusted? Probably.
I couldn't get the two headset nuts to adjust without the special narrow wrench. So, I cut one out of a piece of steel, which worked fine (and suggested earlier in the thread).
Put it all back together, wheel on. Putting the brake caliper back on I discovered that I hadn't routed the brake line correctly under the headlight wire harness. With my tall bars, that extra space is critical. So, off comes the wheel and the left fork. Removed the top shroud cover, rerouted and all is fine. Will have to adjust the headlight one evening.
Very smooth, took her up to 80 mph on the interstate. In addition to headshake, I had some vibration at highway speeds. All that is gone.
Thanks to mrt202 and Dog for the advice.
This job is not for a novice. I've had the top of my motor off twice for a valve job but this tested my mechanical expertise. And you will have to get creative with tools. Now I know what it involves, I could do it again. I guess that was just a challenging learning experience.
