Is it diesel or gasoline motor?
With heavy diesel, putting 500lb in front can very easy overload your front axle, so you have to be carefull with the idea.
Even if big bike will not obstruct the front view.
I had front hitch on my Superduty and I don't think I would like to have 500lb bouncing on it. Did carry 200lb of generator and other stuff just fine.
For stuff of this weight you need triple receivers for additional support or other means of side support.
