You would be better off adding a 5 pin reg/rec to charge a small battery and add an LED based indicator system.
ive got the said gp150, its got batteries that live behind the toobox

The model I was referring to, was the SIL GP150 that had indicators supplied from a standard non battery stator, ie similar to what the OP was hoping to do.

i had a 6 v vespa small frame with bar end indicators. in use they were not that good unless revving so sitting at the lights was a bit of an odity.

however i did a triumph with led brake light and indicators and they ran off of torch batteries cable tied to the fame, the batteries lasted for years.

go battery 8-)

I have a Serveta that was 6v battery system originally. Did the simple AC changeover (12V AC using original stator) and the headlight pulsed too much with flasher on. Went with a BGM LED tail light and 2 LED indicator bulbs out of 4. Headlamp at 35W, pulsing is still there but it's good enough. With the BGM 120W electronic stator, the pulsing was almost gone. That stator failed, though, so I'm back on points and original Serveta stator.

My guess is 6V AC with flashers might be a stretch, but the trick is reducing load so they don't overwhelm the system. When I started I had a 60W headlamp in there. It made the pulsation much more apparent because all the draw went there when it the flasher was off but when it flashed ON the dimming was incredible.

1 LED turn signal in each side helped a lot, but 2 with a resistor or special LED flasher might do the trick.
