The ATC200X stator was a little different than the ATC200S (and similar) models. Basically the 200x stator internally grounds, while the 200s the ground is isolated and ran directly to a regulator/rectifier. The 200s stator is safe for a regulator/rectifier, the 200x won't be right since there's a ground on 2 legs of the 4 diodes, one side shorts out, other side generates a half wave rectified DC power. Also the stators put out different wattages, the 200x was 70w while the 200s ones were 50w. You'll want a 45/45w headlight in the 200x headlight if you want the bulb to last assuming it's a halogen style bulb... let me look that up xD. Yep, it uses the H4 style headlight. Here's a light kit that should match up to what your machine would use for bulbs. I kind of got into the lightbulb reselling business since everyone wants to go LED. I like the stock setups since there's no modding required, always plug and play =).

If you prefer, you can pay Honda's prices, $35 at the time of this post. You get a made in Japan bulb (Stanly) instead of Taiwan, Korea, or China.

FYI, if the bulb was a standard style bulb like the tail light, then this wouldn't be as big of a deal, but the halogen design works and gets its long life from basically running as hot as possible just before blowing, if it's ran too cool the physics that make it work aren't in spec and the bulb dies sooner.
Here's a vid on it, sounds about like a infomercial but they mention the physics I'm talking about. Sadly no good diagrams or anything, can't really find much to actually show it.

Yea I get the technology has changed so much. I grew up in the middle of that stuff in the 90's. My dad and family are a bit more old fashioned on a lot of things, he has a sunpro tester that has a bunch of stuff, but the main thing of interest is the exhaust gas analyzer since it was a fool proof way to tune a carb, or atleast see exactly how the engine is burning at different rpm's. I suspect there's a hand held version of it by now, this thing is like 2-3 tool boxes wide, and as tall as the biggest snapon boxes. Sometimes the old way isn't bad though, knowing how things actually work instead of having a computer tell you helps you diag problems more accurately. Like there's plenty of people in the automotive world that sees a check engine code for a bad O2 sensor, so they replace it but never look into the root cause, week later or less it gets the same code. Could be leaky fuel injector, or in the case of my Lexus, the vacuum based idle kick up for the power steering pump was sucking power steering fluid into the engine.
According to Moore's law (computer science view point), technology doubles roughly every 9 months. The old measurement was number of transistors in a processor, but they are hitting an upper limit anymore and the progression has moved in other areas. SSD/NVME is the biggest jump in storage tech in a very long time... like from floppy drives to the internal hard drive type of advancement. Same goes for power usage, same processing power, but reduced power consumption. For the last like 5 years, computers haven't gotten *that* much faster, maybe like 5-20% per year, but power usage and such has had pretty huge gains. My ~8 year old 6 core computer used a 165W cpu if I recall correctly, my ~1 year old computer (maybe 2 year now?) is 8 core and rated 95w, and probably is around double the processing ability. Latest and greatest AMD cpu has had a pretty big jump in processing power, bit more than the other cpus I bought, but the one that catches my eye for performance vs price is 12 core and 105w and it's a whole new design, so power usage and such should drop in later generations. Also the same story goes for physical size, smaller is part of the doubling.
Sadly there's no true way to measure every thing, so it's harder to say tech is on the same path as Moore's law, but it seems to apply to any industry that isn't heavily regulated where innovation can take place assuming there's enough competition and consumer demand.
