simplest is you'll need a regulator
and of course the CDI if it's not still on the engine
and change the bulbs
but opportunity there to go for full DC conversion...

if your loom is tatty then beedspeed do a loom for your exact requirements for not much money. easy to do now rather than chasing faults later
