First of all, nice bike. I've never seen one in person and thus never ridden one. Looks like a sweet bike. I really like the matte grey color.

Secondly, a nice new fork will definately help. I'd stay away from the current crop of longer travel forks, it'll mess up the geometry of that bike too much. Stick with a fork with 80mm of travel.

Thirdly, I'd level out that saddle. You want the saddle to be almost parrallel with the floor. From the pics it looks like the tip is pointed WAY down. This will cause you to feel like you're sliding off the front of the saddle and will cause a lot of strain on your arms to keep you up on the bike.
