Re: Japan style headstock
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

Re: Japan style headstock
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

Re: Japan style headstock
yes, japan handle bar is needed! because mount tabs are n differ location holds front/rear cover. will drop in the stock s/sr fork... that use a big nut!
japan handle bar ride better than s handle bar. little wide arm are spread out

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