Get LEDs that are rated AC/DC if you can (especially for the dash indicator) the blinker issue can be addressed by adding a large resistor to each side circuit. 

There are a couple of LED threads buried in here that are well documented.

The electronic flasher is the best solution if you are wanting to reduce amperage draw from the bikes electrical system, standard thermal flashers require current flow to operate, the electronic flasher does not. Adding a resistor will not help much if any (standard light bulbs are resistors you are swapping one resistor for another style resistor).
