The pinch bolt on the stem
The neck properly greased
Have you seen the races and bearings?
I swear you need a chock to do this properly but I do know that there are videos onyoutube with guys doing this on a lift, wheel barely off the floor? Not too sure about this however.

Yes he is serious.
Your riser bushings are rubber and you can shift your handle bars a little without hurting anything.
