Outback Model 324C, need feedback

Hello to all. I am new to the site and need some feedback on an Outback model 324C travel trailer that I am considering. I truck is a 2015 Ford F-250 Super Duty 6.7 Power Stroke, 10,000lb gvwr package and tow package. The 324C has the cargo compartment up front versus the rear. Outback rates the hitch weight on this trailer at 985lbs. I ride a 2005 Harley Davidson Ultraclassic that weighs in dry at 788lbs. My concern is weight of the bike being added up front to the already 985lbs hitch weight. The data plate on my hitch receiver on the truck is rated at 1900 lbs if I use a weight distributing hitch. I am new at this, have crunched the numbers and it appears that I meet the gvwr and gcwr rating for the truck. still do not feel comfortable about this weight up front. Hoping someone is familiar with this and can share some info. Thanks in advance.

Did not consider the holding tanks and water tank. Thank you. Still waiting on some info from the salesman, not impressed. I will end up contacting Outback myself.

Creative loading can also reduce your tongue weight. Other questions to ask are, where are the Holding tanks located or anything that would counter the weight of the Harley. Just a little food for thought.
