While I don't know the paint colors of every year, I think only the early sa50 had white paint, af05 engine, not af16 engine models. Somewhere in the late 80's or early 90's.

Call honda dealer and tell them you want prices on replacement white panels for your '99 or '00 elite 50. They will be able to look up the parts and know for sure.

I'm almost positive the elite came in white in the late 90s. I specifically remember seeing the color combo on honda motorcycle's website.

I am 100% sure that the Elite LX was the only Elite 49cc model that came in Shasta White...I had those panels on my other Elite S. If you come to Honolulu, Hawaii there are MANY repainted white panels on Elite S mopeds. Peeps seem to like the panda color scheme here.

You can simply call any dealer to confirm what we are all saying. I myself didn't know how rare OEM white panels were until I wanted to buy another spare set. I was told 1988 was the ONLY year it was offered in Shasta White.
