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.

Yes I've seen the measurements but need to know that the parallel measurement from those two points is no greater than 550mm and thank you for the welcome, regards lee

Like JohnJ said, I'd contact BigDog directly and go from there.
