The centre of gravit is xCOM.
xCOM = (m1x1 + m2x2)/(m1 + m2)
          
Taking front axle as origin.
The front wheels lies at (0,0) and the rear wheel would lie then at (4,0)
Hence, xCOM =  (6540*0 + 7780*4)/(6540+7780) 
                     = 2.173 m
 
Hence the com lies at 2.173 m from front axle.
