Probably have to live with lifting/moving the elbow like the rest of us.

I remember somebody on the ZX-10R.net forum mounted Suzuki GS500 mirrors or something. They appear to fit and have a slightly longer stalk. You might want to do a search on the topic.
I agree, the mirrors are pretty useless on the 10R. They vibrate so badly that I can't make out close objects let alone spotting cops in the distance. Basically I only use them when stopped and checking for "late brakers" or to see if there IS an object closing when I am lanechanging. Everything else requires a lookey-loo.

Mine don't vibrate too much, in fact mine have smooth spots and I can see my elbows perfectly.

I went the GS500 route. Much better than stock.

I just lean to one side while riding to view and they work good enough...they are not totally useless to me anyways...
Get a goldwing instead...that should help..
