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 a working 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 and dratv.com for $60 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 and do it yourself.
Many new parts like seat covers, leg shields, carb rebuild kits and complete new carbs are available from dratv.com and on ebay.com
