I've installed Dale Walker's/holeshot.com mirror extenders.  He did a nice job...the fit is near perfect, I can see behind me, and there is absolutely no vibration in the mirror.  Very pleased.

I decided to order mine today.......unfortunately they only take orders via phone M-Th. So, Tuesday they get ordered. Glad to hear they are a good match. I believe they look better than the split piece by SW Motech but clearly that's an eye of the beholder thing. I am just tired of looking at my shoulder and all my riding buddies are always behind me  :lol: It'll be nice to look for them without moving my arms or shoulders to see the mirrors.

In the aviation world, Heads Up Displays (HUD) are to such a point where they have a plastic-type sheet that can be moved around the cockpit.  I was thinking, it would be cool to have a small HUD on the edge of a helmet visor and one of those small RV back-up cameras mounted on the tail...and maybe a ball bearing dispenser, a laser pointer, and an oil-smoke machine.  Okay, I'm out of control!

I think it would be easier to simply ride with slower bikes and never, ever, have to worry about them coming up behind you! At that point, mirrors would be meaningless.
