Firstly, remember, always do a spot check by turning your head (not just using the mirrors). All mirrors will have a blind spot.
Secondly, I found the best way around the “my mirrors only show my my elbows” problem is to shift my shoulders to the other side when I’m checking my mirrors.
If I need to check my left mirror, I move my upper body as far to the right as possible (but don’t turn/lean the bike in the process). This makes all the difference in the world to me.
