Just bought a universal sport bike stand combo (front & rear) used for cheap cheap cheap! So cheap I didn't even bother to see if it works with the R3...which leads me to this question: what size spool does our bike require?

True.

And as a tip when assembling cheap stands, replace the weak zinc/galvanized nuts and bolts with rated* stainless steel units, and use Loctite on the threads. This will decrease the possibility of corrosion and of stripping threads, and will increase strength.

* Unlike cheap fasteners, whose quality can vary greatly, quality steel fasteners are rated according to ISO, SAE, and ASTM standards. Here is a brief sample: https://www.boltdepot.com/fastener-information/materials-and-grades/bolt-grade-chart.aspx
