M416 and a dual sport

I am in the middle of building a m416 trailer with a roof top tent and the whole 9 yards. It has an all new frame from 2x3 .120 wall tubing. The problem is I went and got a dual sport. Soooooo now I am trying to figure out how to incorporate a motorcycle mount onto my trailer. I am thinking about something like this

What I am wondering is if it will put too much weight on the tongue of my trailer. For reference I have a drz400 and I will be pulling my m416 set up with a v8 Tahoe z71. I have no doubt if I could build the mount I just don't now if it will make the trailer pull funny.

Any suggestions?

Preacherman No build thread? We need to see your work.
I don't see why that same mount wouldn't work.
Are you replacing the tongue?

I agree with Harley. Don't think you have built the tongue yet (that I can see on your build site) so do the planning now and extend the front area and add the motorcycle. You can always balance out by putting some weight like a spare tire in the rear.
