Ideally, you want the tongue to be level. But as previously stated, you don't have much of an option. Send it!
Tongue weight is key. 10-15% of the overall trailer weight, on the tongue.

Re: Yamaha FJR

I've used Bull Dog in the past. Matter of fact, my 2011 Equinox has one of their batteries in it now. I think I got it at around 80k miles, now has 178k.
According to all the Internet FJR aficionados, Yuasa with the AGM technology is the way to go.

Re: 1979 Malibu

Good choice on the hitch. Less weight than a Class2. (40ish lbs)
Nice trailer too! 4x8? What's the make?

Returning Smoker

Well, after a 10yr absence, I'm back. Now retired, but working part-time. Needed to get out of the house kinda thing....
