I tend to stick with highsider mirrors. German very nice quality and have the usual accessory bar inserts available to suit.

Maybe no everyone’s taste. They’re easily twice as big as the ones above. But I really like them

In fact that’s a highsider in my pic / avatar thing.

I can't comment on the effectiveness of the rubber inserts I'm afraid as I went for solid bars in the end which these obviously won't fit into. You could maybe change the rubber for a wedge type fitting?
