Well, the CB500x has a curb weight of 430 lbs (that includes all fluids and a full tank of gas) and a 4.7 US gallon tank. That gives you 20 lbs to play with for accessoriess.
I don't know what the gross weight before it is considered overloaded is. And I don't think it would work as well for 2 up.
My old (1970) BMW R75/5 with a Vetter Windjammer fairing and gas in the tank - I've no idea how much gas - weighed 498 lbs when I had it on a certified scale. I remember this because the company I worked for at the time wanted me to go on a temporary assignment to California for a year and said they would pay for moving 500 lbs of personal stuff. I asked "any personal stuff, it dosen't matter what it is?" and they said "yes, that's right" so they got to move my BMW.
