Turns out it doesn't look that bad.

I normally ran, we have laws here, if a biker did not stop during a pull over, cops can not chase after him unless he commited a serious crime. If a cop does chase the biker, and causes biker to have an accident, then this cop will go to jail .
 
Your mirrors look great but are they functional and do they provide a better view of what's behind you when riding, I thought about bar end mirrors because the stock mirrors have a lot of blind spots but I was concerned bar end mirrors might hit the fairing at full turn and because of the angle of the clip-ons be pretty useless seeing what's behind you.

If you have bar-end mirrors that extend out from the bar end, and are level with or above the handlebar, so that your hand and arm do not block it's view, then bar-end mirrors are excellent(assuming it has a quality mirror in it), and you can see very well behind you, and they also will not contact the gas tank or fairings(the style pictured above may/may not, I cannot say).
I prefer bar-end mirrors, as my eyes can find them quicker too, reason being, I know about where the stock mirror is, but it takes just a moment for my eyes to find them in space, but with a bar-end mirror, my brain knows exactly where my hands are, and my eyes can find the bar-end mirrors quicker, as they are directly beside my hands.
I also don't have the problem of trying to see around my shoulders with stock mirrors.
I've had bar-end mirrors on a few bikes, including my Gen2 Busa.
I would put them on my Gsxr now if they would fit through my basement door.

I have thought about bar mirrors for a similar reason...I have to pull my elbow towards the tank to see anything behind me.
