If I kept the KRS I'd want to ditch the mirrors and have a rear view camera with a display above the instruments. I don't know whether that would work. But, yes, they are an issue in traffic. I also had a K11LT and got the fork springs changed and a 4 way adjustable rear shock. A bit of a transformation. I had a K100LT long ago and really hated the engine, it was always tight and was horrible to rev. I got the R11GS when they came out and everyone thought they were a joke. Then got the 1150. GS world was nice and cosy until the twats on the telly ruined it. I wish KTM had said yes to them.
In fairness I think BMW was starting to appeal to that type of rider with the GS and they were the visible aspect of that. If anything people should have looked at that series and bought an Enfield Bullet.
