Before you have the ramp built I'd get your setup to some CAT scales to see what your tongue weight is and what it's going to be with the Harley up front. Most of the weight of that Harley will be transferred right to your hitch. Check your specs for your Burb too. Adding anything won't change if you are beyond your ratings, but might make the drive better.
One of my neighbors had a popup with a forward deck that he towed with a Tundra. He mounted fuel and water cans across the back of the trailer and added a cargo basket. He has able to take off some tongue weight by filling his 5-gallon cans and adding firewood or full cooler to the basket. When he didn't take his toys along, he would remove the basket and the cans. Coming home, he would return with more tongue weight but it worked for him.
