With the ST1300 tip over talk, wouldn't that bike on there make the handling, uhhh, iffy at best?

Ok, that's five words, but the point remains.

FWIW, on my high mount rear carrier setup, the bicycle only weighs about 23 pounds. That's not a lot even if it is up high. There was another question about sidewinds. I've never noticed any ill effects from sidewinds, there's just not enough side area there to matter.
I wanted that setup because after a while, when driving the car to go somewhere nice for a recreational bicycle ride it seemed like a waste of a nice day to be sitting in a car. So.. use the motorcycle and get in a nice cruise to the start point, enjoy the bicycle ride, and enjoy the cruise back home.. perfect day !
