That second dash you posted looked really cheap. Sure you gonna be happy with it. I have the oem tact AF16 Face on my elite sr and I swaped my usa speedo cluster in so it was plug and play. I wrote you. I found the handle bars in Japan for 5.60$. I can easily get them for you.

There is only one headset.

The first picture is the ebay one, the second set of pics were taken by me.

The only thing that is different is the speedo.

I did get the tact handle bars from Taz......thanks again.
They seem to fit just fine.

Now that I have these handle bars, i am looking at the tact bars vs the elite bars.

Had I known how similar they were, I would have just modded the elite bars to fit.

Pics coming soon. :thumbwink:

elite bars vs tact bars.

elite bars (on bottom) have longer mounting tabs.

Tact bars (on top) have short tabs

Will this dio headstock bolt up to usa elite 50 handle bars? :confused:

Hey guys!

I installed on my Elite's stock handle bar with a minor modification.

The only thing you have to do is CUT and shorten the front cover screw base!

I'm trying to upload picture but I'm new here and haven't found out how yet! jajjaja I'll try again later today!
