front wheel kick-out

Your wheelbase is under 42 inches, your seat height is around 23 inches and both wheels are only about 19 inches in diameter, so if turns lay you down, maybe the stubby length, high center of gravity or small wheel size has something to do with it. Unless you've a loose stem or skewer that's at fault, I'm not sure there's much you can do about it. I'm surprised because most Rocket owners post glowing reports about this bent.
