I have mirrors like that on my 09 c14.  I took the stock mirrors off and fabricated some aluminum filler plates to fill the gaps left by the stock mirrors.  It looks decent enough.  The only reason I went this route was the fact that I drive in Tokyo Japan traffic and needed to make the bike a little more narrow.  To my surprise the stalk mirrors I bought (cheap genic brand) clear both my stock screen and my cal sci large screen. I plan on converting back to stock when I get back to the states. I'll post pics if anyone is interested.

If anything, I think the stock mirrors on my '10 are too wide!  I've ridden narrower bikes with narrower mirrors that worked just fine.

I think there are narrower cars in Italy  ;D
Still, although the C14 mirrors are usable, and the from '10 on marginally better, there's a lot of room for improvement...

I'll take some pics this weekend and post them up.  With the stock mirrors my bike was as wide as my Suzuki Every van  :o

I have to admit that I don't like the looks of it, both the mirrors and the plate, but I can't argue how useful they might be, plus the bike is a lot narrower without bags.
