Back in the early '50s, they used to use a large, step-down resistor on the output side of the generator to solve this type of problem when putting a 12V generator in a 6V-wired vehicle.

It should be easy and fairly cheap to come up with a much more elegant solution with something electronic that essentially does the same thing.
