I'd start to be concerned about having the APO that far from the axis. You'll probably need another counterweight. I did when I swapped a the standard rings and bar off from the ST80 guidescope package for a D plate and Losmandy rings. The Losmandy rings are pretty solid.

Side-by-side might be a better choice. I have an SBS bar to mount my C8 and 127ED on a G11 but haven't had time to try it yet.
