As poor as the handling already is, that heavy of a weight at the rear will really make the steering squirrelly. I have a friend with a tag diesel and a touring HD - he even notices a dramatic change in the feel.

Just my two cents!
There is another thread ( idaho tote) regarding motorcycle lifts/racks, etc.
We posted more photos on that thread.
Rons Dual Sport which he places on the rack weighins at about 380lbs.
(he has used that for over 10 years with no problem and, obviously no weight problem)
He has a 6x10 enclosed trailer for the dresser which can accomodate both bikes.
