If you want top of the line, get pit bull. Hands down. However I took a different route to save a few dollars. I got my set at Steel Horse Fabrication (http://www.steelhorsefab.com/store/index.php) Personally I love them. They've worked perfectly for me so far, and I've had my bike up on them in my garage since October, and I feel completely safe with it on the stands.
Because you have an F4i, for some reason they decided that F4i owners would not need. A swingarm spool is a small little roller (spool if you will) that aids in the use of a rear swingarm stand on most bikes. Because the F4i is without these holes, you must find a stand with pads/feet instead of spool acceptors, or as an alternative, you can have some welded on, or tapped into your swingarm (although I wouldn't really recommend either of those).
Here is what swingarm spools look like.
sorry about the size
You will need a stand more like one of these if you don't wish to modify your swingarm to accept spools:

I've used Pit Bull and T-rex. T-rex are about $80 less on ebay. They are slightly less "solid", they are two piece and made of a thinner tubing, but overall seem satisfactory. Both T-rex and Pit Bull make a reversible stand with a rubberized peg for underarm use and a notch for spool use. Spools are better, hands down. Not only are they more secure, they also can work as swingarm sliders to protect your exhaust and swingarm in a fall. Finally the rubberized pegs can slip and slide, tearing the vinyl, which will have to be replaced.
Anybody else have trouble with the Pit bull front steering tube stand?

Do you know of any problems with the Pit Bull Spool Adaptors that weld underneath the swing arm? I have them and so far, so good.
