No grease on the steerer threads? 
Adjusting the headset always takes a bit of trial and error to get perfect. You seemed to get it right immediately.

I did get lucky on that first adjustment. But I should of added putting the bike on the ground and doing the front brake test.

JJ,
Nice video, I've been enjoying your show and tell ones for a while and didn't realize you're in the forum. I have some friends who do YouTube and I have some inkling just how hard those are to do well. I appreciate that you're doing it and enjoy your content!
