Re: Rake measurement
Well hello Lee and welcome to the forum. The figures you are looking for are published on BigDog's web site and are Frame Rake, 33 degrees, Tree Rake 0 degrees, and Trail 5.59 inches (142mm). I'm sure the guys at BigDogs will be happy to work with you to import a bike, if they don't have an importer already.
People say I'm stupid and apathetic. I don't know what that means, and I don't care.

Re: Rake measurement
Like JohnJ said, I'd contact BigDog directly and go from there.
