The mirrors already have a tendency to vibrate, and with them out there like that, I'd be concerned of their stressing, and possibly breaking, the plastic mounts, besides worse vibration.
I would say, try it, if it works, then great. If not, well then you are out $100. Maybe you can get some sort of trial period from the seller/maker.
I don't think there is enough weight to the mirrors to cause extra stress, but they may be a little susceptible to vibrations due to the extension.
I had these round bar-ends on my /6 for a few years. They look cool, but are quite small and don't give a great look at whats behind and to the side (isn't that what they are for?). I ditched them for a pair of Napoleans a few weeks ago on my /6 with low bars. Besides looking very cool, the Napoleans give me an absolutely panoramic view. I feel much safer with them.
