I am getting a parts list for a cafe build.
I am starting with a 1974 xl250 that I have had for 3 years now. Used it for driving forest service roads for fishing and decided its time to do something more with it. I have $350 in it in total and it runs strong.
I plan to loss the battery and go for a more bare look. I like the look of dual headlights in a vertical fashion.

If I cannot find a 6v option that will provide enough light for occasional night driving (not planned), can I take the 6v that is sent to the headlight and the 6v that is to charge the battery (which I won't have) and combined them to create 12v's and still have the 3rd part of the stator producing 6v's for everything else.
I am terrible with wiring and would like the headlight to work (at least dim) at idle as well.
