All -- I've heard many complain about the 1050 Tiger mirrors, and not without reason, I think -- standard beefs, "all I can see is my shoulders/elbows, name the body part."
the aftermarket has, of course, jumped into the fray and offered a variety of extenders and relocators that basically move the mirror heads outboard - they all look exactly like what they are, add-ons (not that this is necessarily a bad thing)
other have sourced S3 mirror stalks, which are somewhat longer than the 1050 Tiger's --
not wishing to wait for a set of S3 stalks to come up on eBay, I spent a rainy afternoon making up a set of stalks -- 1/2 steel round stock, a vise and length of pipe for a bending jig, and the appropriate die to thread the outboard end, and zippo-bang -- mirror stalks that are an inch longer
once painted (long history has taught me not the "finish" a part til I install and use it for a while), it'll look factory original, be totally reversable, and will cure the mirror blues
pretty simple, really, and far less cost than any of the commercially available fixes
