I'm with Kurt on this one. You have not even started to add weight to your monster sled. Look at the overall capacity weight of your motorcycle specs. Even one of those 1300cc Suzuki's may have a hard time pulling it although they could. Unless you have experience doing this already, I'd say you are going to flog your engine and maybe provide a safety danger. What's that formula, something like (assume optimistically) 6.7 lbs = 1 hp (for your motor)? In addition, the weight will be off-canter to the cog and have tracking force issues.
