This is the best course of action. Try front heavy and rear heavy to see what works best for you.

I found that having bags on the front solved all kinds of stability issues long ago. I have toured with a heavy rear load and with a heavy front load and I'd choose the latter in all instances. I would...and have...touring with just front bags over rear bags. YMMV
