Check your star fangled nut...It may have migrated up your steer tube.

If that isn't it, you may have blown bearings in your headset.

You might also need another spacer, your top cap may be bottoming on the steer tube, not allowing you to go any tighter.

Gear board. Just rebuild your headset, 15 min. job at most. I would bet that the plastic compression ring has just become stuck on the steerer tube and won't allow you to tighten your headset further. Pop it back out and reseat the compression ring. Your headset will probably tighten up fine after that.

My headset always loosens up after a few months of Shore riding.
