I have similar issues with the mirror placement on my Riv with moustache handlebars. I'm used to seeing knuckles in my rear view, now.
On my Schwinn KOM, I put the mirror horizontal underneath/ahead of the grip. Are albatross bars wide enough for this kind of placement? This gets me an unobstructed rear view, and uses the width/convex shape of the mirror to its most potential. You can see my goofy face in its reflection.
