So I've got a feeling my wobble comes from a loose stem bearing. My question is what bolt am I tightening here? The one in the top of the triple tree? It's just underneath the middle of the handlebars. Or is there a different bolt I need to be tightening? I believe it's a 32mm nut.
I believe I'm talking about #14 on this diagram. Thanks!

To tighten up a sloppy stem, you need to tighten #15 on this diagram.

You will need to remove the upper fork bridge to get to it.

Re: 83 650 steering stem
Thank you. What is that type of ratchet called and do you have any idea what size it would be?

A special socket is required for this--Honda part 07716-0020400. It looks something like this:
This one is two sided to act as the clutch nut tool as well. If you are like most people I know, you will make such a socket out of a regular socket and an angle grinder.

Re: 83 650 steering stem
I do not have an angle grinder. I could probably score a file from my dad but what's 25 bucks on a socket? If it'll save me 2 hours of grinding. I would definitely "make" one if I could but it's just not feasible at this point in time. Are those the correct dimensions of the socket I'm looking for? Looks like 26x30 mm. I have a Sears nearby and they sell all sorts of these four prong do dads. I just need to be 100% on the size so I'm not running around like an idiot all evening
Can I use the "c-spanner" that came in my toolkit to tighten this locking nut?

I don't know if it would work or not. It's worth a try. You may be able to tighten it with your hand.
