Default How much $ to rake a bike?

I posted this in another thread no answer, hopefully someone here will know.

How much to rake a bike? My Dad bought an 05' trike and was wondering how much it would cost to rake it.

Anyone know?

if you have to ask it's probably to much money in the first place.

I called a trike builder $1500 roughly parts and labor. That's about what I thought.

Too many variables. Rake it with a bolt-on kit? Cut and weld the neck? Does the guy need to disassemble and reassemble the bike, and do paint work, or are you guys gonna bring him the bike stripped down and ready to cut up? Do you have either a big wheel kit, or extended forks? You got to give all the info before someone can venture a guess.
