I run the short mirrors and I've bent them a bit more and sealed the mirror to the back. I can see well and almost no vibration.

I masked off the mirror with tape and the outer edge of the back and fill the gap with [ I used urethane sealed ] a silicone sealer. Make sure the mirrors are adjusted and seal the edge. Let it dry real good and then spray a little black paint before unmask it.
