Rear Stand for the F3?
The part # for the one actual stand is 65620 and may have been superceeded to part # 66192 and the front fork adapters part # is 65621.
just set your swingarm stand on the floor at the store when you get it and make sure all 4 little wheels touch the ground, they are shipped to harbor freight in a big bulk box and either some have bad weld quality on the wheel bracket, or they move a little from shipping. I had a couple the guy brought out to me that the wheels didn't all touch the ground and only the 2 outside ones and you dont want all the weight on 2 wheels, if you find one that has a crooked bottom where the wheels are, they will go in the back room and get you another till your satisfied.
search the harbor freight site for the part #'s I gave and see what the stands and adapters look like, ignore the online price you see, was cheaper when I went to the actual store for them.

Harbor Freight's products kind of makes me nervous, I purchased a spring compressor from them the last time i was there, and it ended up breaking on me during the first use. If you're having good luck with the stands though, that is good to hear.
I'm thinking about just going ahead and picking up the Pit Bull non-spooled rear stand.

I also purchased a Harbor Freight Stand. It was an aluminum one I picked up in the store.
Two downfalls:
1) One of the arms was welded wrong, making the "paddle" adapter (that hooks under your swingarm) go at a slight angle
2) The arms were much shorter then advertised. My tire wouldnt even come off the ground with the "paddle" adapters as it was supposed to.
Called and complained and got a new arm in the mail, welded wrong again.
Ended up turning the paddle things upside down and it does take the bike about 1 inch off the ground and is stable as can be.
Overall, it was still a great buy compared to the high dollar stands imo.

It was a good buy for the price, plus I added the paddle adapters (They had to be turned upside down due to height issues).. The weld on one of the arms was crooked but it still holds my bike strong.
Anyone have any input on stands that can support the bike + weight of a person or two (I see a lot of people with pictures of their girls on their bikes, I wouldnt trust my stand).

I picked up the front and rear T-Rex Racing stands today from a local for $80 bucks. The stands seem sturdy, roll good, and look nice. The bike was very simple to lift onto the rear stand. Here are two quick shots of the bike up on the rear:
