No you need the handle bars that go with tht headset. It looks to be the kymco headset but i could be wrong. Most of them are kymco but sold as a japan stylr dio headset. Either way you still need handle bars

The only bike that a dio sr sp zx headset will bolt right up to is an 87 se50 or an arnada symdd50. Still gotta change the handle bars snd stem i think. That kymco headset you got there will bolt straight on to the elite just gotta change the handle bars. Ive done that headset swap before its real easy

That is honda tact AF16 headset. I think I have a set of bars for that headset. Let me know if you need them.
