Handlebar/front wheel turns too easily - loose steering?

Cunobelin's diagram is for a threaded headset, which I don't think you have. Loosen the top cap and make sure that it is tightening on the stem and not on the top of the steerer. The top of the steerer should be below the top of the stem, and if not you need a spacer in there. That's assuming that the fork is the right way round in the first place and not trying to correct itself.

In the OP, the image clearly shows a threaded headset with the lock nut and top cup clearly visible
 
A loose headset doesn't turn any more easily than a properly adjusted headset. The problem I think is one of front end geometry - where the fork's offset doesn't match/suit the head angle. Aka 'flop'.

I have the same issue on my Black Label. When I ride down the road the steering turns too easy and is VERY squirrely. Did you ever figure out how to correct it. Nothing is loose.
