Default Long Stem Mirrors

I just put some narrow drag bars on my '01 and had to add Long Stem Mirrors in order to see behind me.&nbsp\\; Things mirrors vibrate so much that they are "nearly" useless.&nbsp\\; Is there any way to dampen the vibration on mirrors?
Thanks for any input.

Used stock mirrors flipped over to see around

My left one is useless in low RPMs my right one is useless in high RPMs with my long stems.&nbsp\\; Both were useless with short stems.

all i can see on my stock mirrors are my guns! thus causing head inflation, which then turns into parachuting effect at high speeds...... \\
