Have you tried to eliminate ''blind spots'' someway?
Maybe testing something small like these (attacked to original mirrors)?
This kind of installation (separately) could be ok option. But where to put those with Nevada....
... or even testing something like these?

I have not, but I do like the convex mirror, so long as it doesn’t weigh down a mirror—we all know how mirrors love to go limp.
I’ve also heard that many bar end mirrors actually do a good job of added visibility to blind spots.
Final thought—one could always strap on one of those helmet mount mirrors! On second thought, I think wind resistance might have something to say about that.

I use 2" round convex on my cars and trucks and they work great.
Since the mirrors on my bikes are not very large, I've been looking for round convex stick-on mirrors 1.5" diameter or less. Does anyone know where I could find these?

Autozone, O’Reilly’s, any auto parts store carries a selection of the round mirrors in different sizes. I use them on the cars and motorcycles as well…eliminates all the blind spots.

I like the first pic…but I like to move the small convex to the inside where it covers what are likely to be my elbows in the mirror and uncovering the view to the outside in the flat mirror

LOL.
Ok, I might consider to add some small extra mirror into my bike now at winter time. Those are not expensive. To eliminate blind spots (more).
