thanks for the suggestions folks! I will try spoke tension next as the brake adjustments and the addition of the booster didn't help at all. I don't want to give up the fork as it rides very nice and looks cool. As for the seat position, it is installed right in the middle of the integrated seat rails I know it looks awkward and too far forward but it is really the seat design - to make it look more 'balanced', I'd have to move the seat all the way to the back(only another 1/2" or so as the rails are quite limited in length - it is a team fat chance seat though I am thinking of replacing it with a flite anyway..
