Does anyone know what manufactures disc brakes are used on the HST 1800 Roadsmith trike ?

Maybe someone else will respond that may know for sure, I believe they are VW.

I believe Fabricator is correct. Just to be safe I'd call Roadsmith and ask. Have the kit serial number handy so they can provide accurate info. Sometimes manufactures use different sources as necessary.... :xszpv: :xszpv:

Page 19 of Owners Manual from Roadsmith Support tab. Brakes are listed as VW.

They now use EBC yellow stuff DP4105R brake pads. I just ordered a set from Amazon

Thank you all for your input ! That's what I needed.

Has anyone painted the calipers to match the trike ?

I haven't yet painted the calipers to match the trike, but I' contemplated powder-coating them instead. I think the powder-coat would hold up better in the long haul. However, exactly matching the paint may be a challenge.

BTW, IF you decide to replace the brake pads/pull the calipers. BE REAL CAREFUL not to lose those little tiny clips that hold the pins in.

They can be extremely hard to find.
