Quick solution [old stator coil may not handle extra heat]
[1]Reg/rec https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=39272228687 for AC headlight (half-wave/ center-tap) system http://mastercircuits.blogspot.com/2...onversion.html
[2]Once had reliable DC, we can fit lights...
Wide voltage DC6-80v https://detail.tmall.com/item.htm?id=45801004864 is a good thingy...

Horn still works under 12v system but changing isn't that difficult either

Ok if i am understanding all the above correctly, i would take a R/R like what was in the first link, Do some soldering to the bikes stator or donor stator like in the second link to essentially convert my headlight to being DC powered instead of AC powered? The way the Honda is wired now is that the Headlight and Brake light are AC powered while the tail light and signals are DC powered off of the battery. I know some aftermarket headlight assemblies use replaceable bulbs of the H3 and H4 type that i can simply replace with a 6 volt H3 or H4 bulb. However by converting to 12V i can also look at the idea of running a low wattage LED aux light.
