Well, here's the thing. I only have an appropriate mount on the left clip-on (the right brake master was swapped for a gsxr part) and that mount already has a cheap ebay mirror in it. The problem is, that mirror is really lousy. It vibrates so badly at freeway speed that I couldn't tell the difference between a Semi and a police cruiser. I'd like a mirror that at least gave some image, even if there is a little vibration so my question is, do you think the mirrors you have will hold at all or will I still have the same problem. (and I know that all, or most, bikes have vibration issues in the mirrors, this one is the worst I have ever seen).

Well, when I had them on, they didn't vibrate at all.  I only took them off because I moved to bar ends (preference).  My bad ends vibrate 1000x more than my old mirrors, but I just live with it.  I'll snap a picture of them later, and post it.

I actually have a cheap bar end on the right-hand side and it is nice and steady. My only problem with that mirror is that its curved so it shows a nice panoramic view but has no depth of field (I can't see clearly more than one or two car lengths behind me because it gets very tiny).

Mine are steady around town, but vibrate like hell on the highway.  I've learned to live with it though.  The trade off is worth the extra visibility to me.

I took mine apart once and it had some rubber "feet" in behind the glass, I'm guessing these absorb a lot of the vibration; are yours perhaps missing these? You might be able to stick something behind the glass to help out.
