It you want to go the inexpensive route, there is a new product out
that was recently advertised in Mountain Bike magazine that is
basically 2 large "washers" that you add to your axel to give to more
surface area. This effectively gives you some of the stiffness you
would get from upgrading to a large axel hub (like a Ringle') for much
less money. I can't recall what the product name was, but can check on
it if you're interested.
Your problem is typical for slider-type forks. Usually you have to
add a fork brace and/or larger hubs to reduce this flexing. If you're
going to get a new fork in the future and still want suspension,
consider the AMP (or Concept), the Lawhill Leader (both rigid legged
with the suspension above), or the Softride suspension stem. If you
really prefer sliders, consider the Halsten (inverted legs- like a
motocross bike) or plan on larger hubs and fork braces (included with
most of the newer sliders)
