You still need a bigger truck. All these weights are without the 1000 pound toy?
Steer axle 320 lb. increase
Drive axle 450 lb. decrease
That is a poorly adjusted WDH. Etrailer actually installed it correctly if the front axle weight was returned to unhitched weight. You have more than 800 pounds of TW, probably over 1000 pounds. That's too much for your receiver.
Adding a motorcycle will change the tongue weight and require readjustment of the WDH again. I highly recommend a TV that is not as grossly affected by the trailer balance. That means 3/4+ ton.
