Try the HD Split Vision mirrors. That fixed mine for me. The smaller convex mirror allows me to see not only behind, but peripherally to the sides too.

Mirrors were first thing replaced/fixed on '06 RG.
From HD catalog:


"Black Long Stem Mirrors - One-Piece

This product is available in multiple variations. Be sure to look for the one that fits the specific model and year of your motorcycle.
91878-77A
Right or Left Side
Fits all models (except VRSCF).
MSRP US $26.95"

Could only see my shoulders with stock mirrors.

I tried the extensions. Put one on and that was all it took to tell me I didn't like the look. These are longer and they start the bend shortley where they connect to the handle bars. They will push the mirrors out further so you not looking at your arms.

Look at changing to a set of Wide Glide or Heritage handlebars. Both will fit without cable or wiring changes. They will bring the mirrors up enough to see past your arms while giving you a more comfortable riding position. Check out both while seated on your bike since they are slightly different in wrist angle. Your local dealer should have both in stock in the $40 - $60 range.

I've ordered these mirrors. I should have them in a couple of days. I hope they do the trick.

I installed some Heritage bars and they helped some while not requiring cable changes. I can now see beside, but not if a car directly behind me without pulling my shoulder in some.
