Your headlight is burnt out because your battery is dead/missing. Without a battery your bike will eat bulbs like candy. New headlights are available from Honda and online, but take care of the battery first - charge or replace it. Your electric starter needs a charged battery, functioning neutral switch AND starter relay to fire (neutral switch is the ground for the starter relay circuit). Michelin Gazelle tires in 2.25-17 front and 2.50-17 rear are available by special order through your local Honda dealer for $53 a pair, and should only take a few days to come in. Get your carburetor professionally dip-cleaned by a local shop or buy a gallon of Berryman Chemdip to do it yourself. Carb rebuild kits and complete new carbs are available from www.dratv.com. Ebay is your friend for new and used parts. Leg shields are reliably available from dratv and on ebay from Indonesia.
