You have between 400-600 punds riding on that thing in an almost vertical position. What makes you think a 3"x6" peice of metal is going to balance it?

I was afraid it would tip back on me so me and my dad built a grab bar and we stuck it on the old one. it works great and wont tip back all the way. theres pics of it in my pictures section.

Mine has been drug on the ground many times. I don't go all the way over. I either hit the brakes after the bar taps the ground to set the front down (going fast) or just hold on till it comes to stop and get off (going slow).
