If I raise the front of the trike and pull forward on the wheel how much movement should I get.I realize in that position the bushings will be close together and i'll have more there than at any other position.

Your question is vague...
If you are talking about the fork tube and lower leg, any noticeable movement is a concern. It usually indicates worn bushings within the fork assembly.
If you are talking about the collective forks and triple tree movement, re-torque the stem or replace the stem bearings.

If there is any movement in the slider/Leg then you have worn bushings and should rebuild soon. Because of the forces placed on them trikes seem to wear these areas sooner the a 2 wheeler does.It won't matter if you have a raked/easy steer type front end or an unmodified you will still have more wear in the front end then a normal 2 wheeler.
