Adapting the existing wiring should be much simpler and cheaper than stripping out the entire loom/generator/regulator.
Run in an extra 20A fused cable to carry power to the first relay, the coil of which should be energised by the feed that used to go to the left hand (dip) lamp... that then (when you turn on the headlight switch) supplies the next relay which is controlled by the wire that used to feed the right-hand (main) beam and directs the power to the dip or main filaments.
It's something I'll be doing shortly to my own '98 Fazer as the existing long cable run through multiple switches and connectors causes a fair old voltage drop. Of course, the bulbs won't last quite as long when running at full output, but the extra light should be noticeable.
