Jeeper55, a knowledgeable person can tweak the generator regulator to charge an 8v battery, but if you have 6v lights, they'll suffer, as will the points and to some degree the coil. If the 6v system has been working for you and all you need is a battery, why not just get a battery? Going to 12v is an option, but you'll need an alternator (some say Delcos with an external regulator work better at low rpm than the single wire ones), modified brackets, perhaps a new belt, new wiring if it has an output higher than 25A, a 12v coil or a dropping resistor for the 6v one, or go to a 12v electronic ignition, in addition to 12v (1195) bulbs for the lights.
Boils down to if the battery is the only problem, or something(s) else in the charging system, and how much do you want to spend? I'd check the existing generator as indicated above, and go from there.
I'm getting close to switching my SA to 12v, even though the 6v battery is still good - the regulator is starting to give problems, and I'm doing more work 'down the road' on some rented land, so would like to put flashers on it for safety. If you're close to WNY, I'll give you a great deal on a still good battery.

My father, my sister, my uncle, my cousin and myself all climbed into my uncle's Toyota van. It was six thirty in the morning and we had a long day ahead. We traveled for six and a half hours to our destination - a little country town with a population of no more then one hundred and fifty people (57 of them being children under the age of thirteen). We arrived hoping to meet up with a man we knew had over one
