Ducati is the pretty girl that can't walk in heels without stumbling. I still love her.

OK, tried the methods you described, NO avail . . . NO way I could close that gap
Took front apart, races are very well bedded in and will try to find a piece of tubing with ID matching, but, as is, the stem is about 3mm above the steer tube . . .
Gonna take it apart again to try find tube . . . will try tomorrow

When all is assembled, are your stem spacers loose? If so you just need another spacer.
