Thanks feret,
I managed to sort it out. It turns out that the top nut was tightened all the way to the very top of the threads on the stalk. So hard that there didn't seem to be a way to loosen it (it wasn't even clear that it wasn't somehow welded in place.) Knowing that it was possible made all the difference. It's all adjusted perfectly now. Thanks for the help.
I also spent the time replacing the intake manifold on my R1200C. It's back on the road now also. First time I've ever had two bikes co-located at the same time. Having options is nice.
In any case, I'm still shocked at how well the bike took the drop...
