Just something to think about. I am not saying this your answer. It is what I did.

We have a Harley Ultra and are presently looking into the Swivel Wheel Trailer system. Almost all of the 800lbs sits squarely over the two swivel wheels. This adds to the GCW but not the pin weight. We saw two of these in use in Florida at our park and I'm leaning on purchasing one for our Montana.
Swivelwheel.com is the web site. Right now, the only drawback for us is they don't have a distributer in our area.
Depending on the mc weight, look at the single wheel and the double wheel to see if either one fits your needs.
There is also a Smart Trailer almost like the Swivel, but a little more expensive.

At least with the swivel wheel you can back up. We towed our quads and later our Rhino on a flat trailer behind our old Mountaineer. It worked great for 4 years. You just can't back up more than a few feet. The plus with a trailer is that you can also use it with your truck.
