Save the indicators for your next ride mate.
Flasher relay is normally under the seat, on the 9's its attached to the rear sub frame in a rubber mount. Repco do an electronic flasher relay but you need to adapt the standard relay wiring connection to spade terminals

I've seen this problem a lot with people modifying old cars. The cheapest and easiest solution is to use the bulbs in series with the led indicators. What car guys do is have the bulbs wired up in series, but in the boot/bonnet covered with black masking tape.

For your bike, you could tuck the front ones under the fairing, and the back ones under the seat. No one would ever know they are there, they are cheap because you already have them, and you'll get the perfect resistance to make your relay work effectively.

Worth a shot I reckon.

Cheers
