Any advice, preferably from experience.

I load the heavy bike last.
My trailer isn't the same as yours but even with the lighter bike first I can still see tongue weights to 1500lbs with two motorcycles. -That's with a starting tongue weight of 950. Heavy tongue weight is great for a stable tow but that much tongue weight is over any half ton rating.
Being able to weigh your tongue when you have variable loads is a necessity IMO. Sherline makes a nice tongue scale.
