After searching for rear brake pads for my Monarch II, I finally had to get them from Champion sidecars out of California. The year is a must as they used a couple of different calipers on the solid axle over the years. then get the credit card out lighten it to the tune of $150.00 yep you read right $135.00 +tax + shipping = $150.00. Champion told me trikes use small calipers to keep the size of the braking system down, automotive calipers would require an automotive master in order to operate the calipers (fluid volume). The only exception would be the trikes that still use the original G/W rear end as part of the kit then you could get pads from a bike shop. I'm keeping an eye on mine I'd hate to see what a rotor would cost!

I asked Champion what my rear is and what the make of brake pads are the only answer I got was this.
"The rear end is our own----you can purchase anything you need directly from us
brake pads run $116.76 for a complete set (both sides)" Nice to know I can get pads there but would be nice to shop around. Whats with the mystery some of the makers have? :Shrug:
