It's a little difficult to write exactly where you went overboard without a detailed packing list. I can say that you have six gear load points on your pictured and divided by your stated gear weight of 60 pounds. Simple math divided up it equals to 10 lbs per gear load point.
That seems really high to me. On my bike none of my gear load points bears 10 lbs. For starters, I really did like did like Mev's advice about putting your gear into four categories. I spent a lot of time researching tents. I always fly past Coleman tents in a flash, because the are the Sherman Tank of tents (heavy). For the longest time my without a thought/ go to front of the bike set up was the low-rider rack with panniers. My touring set-up recently lost four pounds by ditching my front low-rider rack for an over the front wheel rack. I made my own fork harnesses and put my tent body on one side and my sleeping pad/ pillow on the other. My sleeping bag goes on the front rack.
