I have been able to talk to couple dealers about the parts, and the impression I have been given sounds like what you said earlier.
One last item to consider. The Apollo will likely come crated, which means you have a min. 4-10 hours putting that bike together and going over all the bolts, etc. Don't underestimate the recommendation when people tell you to check, and Loctite all bolts. There are also some mods you will want to really consider. Do some research here, there is a wealth of information on what to do with the bike to prepare it for your first ride, and what mods to consider.
