class 3 receiver hitch for a 245 TI? 200 1984

I have been using the factory Volvo hitch (2" receiver)on my '82 245 in conjunction with a motorcycle carrier that I have fabricated. The carrier weighs about 50lbs, my Trials bike weighs in at around 170lbs and at these weights the steering does become a bit light, especially with a full tank of gas. In my opinion 300+lbs is too much for this set up. A really small trailer would be a better option.
