Cane Creek is pretty low stack, also have you tried a low stack stem? Kalloy Uno are pretty decent for not a lot of money.
Or you can get a slam the stem cover from +gbj_tester if you wanna try to use your current headset.

205mm of steerer and the head tube length is 170mm, but i forgot about the headset cups
If it's a conventional (EC34) headset, you're fucked. 205-170=35, minimum EC34 headset is going to be about 24mm e.g. Cane Creek 10 or 40 with my specific low cover, leaving 11mm for the stem

@bigshape
is there a low stack 1-1/8" headset design that would allow me to run some forks i have purchased on my straight steerer steel framed bicycle?
it's possible that i have made a slight error in that the forks have 205mm of steerer and the head tube length is 170mm, but i forgot about the headset cups #facepalm
