I'm not exactly sure what you mean, whether you have no mirrors at all, or (more likely), you have mirrors and you're having trouble seeing with them properly. I suspect the latter.

I had trouble when I first got my ZZR, cause the Virago mirrors are way up high on the handlebars, and brilliant. Now, with the ZZR, the mirrors are down much lower and don't "wrap" around the back of me like the others did.

I adjust my mirrors so I can just see the tip of my elbow in them. From this angel, you don't have to turn your head too far to see if anyone is beside you or not, and it has fair coverage of your back quarter sides (if that makes sense). If I want to look seriously behind, I either lean out in that direction for a second, or lift my arm (or pull my elbow in). Lifting your arm gives you way more vision, but not good for a great length of time of course.

I'm actually getting heaps more used to these mirrors now, but initially, the seriously freaked me out. I like to know what's going on around me at all times too!

Hope that helps

I'm thinking of putting some little spot mirrors on them - has anyone done this?

I haven't yet, but I'm also considering it. There's a couple of people I know who have them, I'll ask them for an opinion first. Only thing that worries me about that, is although the spot ones are small, they're still going to take up a reasonable amount of space on your existing mirrors, cause they're not real big to begin with. Unless of course I can get some that are only 1 inch diameter or so. The ones I've seen to date are a little bigger than that.
