I dont know how many of ya are like me, but when I look in the mirrors, more than half of what I see are my shoulders. Sure, losing weight would help, but my shoulders are still gonna be that wide..lol. Have any of ya gone to the extended or 'longer' shank mirrors?
Such as:

I realize this one is black, and I'd opt for chrome. I'd really like to find one with MORE 'viewing' area if possible.

Any thoughts? Any problems with vibration with the added length?

Thanks...

There are mirror extentions for the shafts that will move the mirrors further out. Check with Drag for the part

 

I've had to install the extended shank mirrors on every bike I've owned due to left eye issues. I don't notice any more vibration than with the stock mirrors. The only issue I have with them is they seem to throw more wind tomy hands.

I put the long mirrors with extensions on my 08 SG

rkadair has the right idea, the mirror extensions raise the mirrors to be more in your line of sight and are relatively cheap at $22.50.
The proper adjustment of your mirrors will take all of you out of the picture. Tryrotating the whole mirror (shaft and all) toward the front of the bike before you adjust the mirror itself to see behind you. I have wide shoulders too and have never had to look at any part of myself after I got the mirrors adjusted right. I fact you shouldn't see yourself at all and the mirror images should overlap a bit so you get a somewhat panoramic view of what is behind and to the sides behind you.

I went with these and they only provided marginal help. Still have my shoulder in 25% of the viewing area vs something like 50% with the stock mirrors. Thanks for posting, the dealer acted like I was the first person to have this problem which I'm sure is BS. Guess it's time to check out a set of mirror extensions.

 

I have the same issues and I will be going with these.

I really think your problem would be solved if you, and some others, tried adjusting your mirrors vto take yourself out of the picture. Think of how you doyour car mirrors- if you have them adjusted correctly you don't see either side of the car in them. Same concept will work on your scoot.

 

I went with apes, and switch the mirrors to under the bars. Now I look through under my arms, and can see fine.
