All: You might recall the last discussion we had on this topic:

My son started talking about old Honda CBs and so I started looking around and found these:

They are available from various sources, but are made by EMGO; part # 20-42410. They are universal and can be used for either side, by moving the mirror to the other side of the stem. I sent the above link, because it details dimensions and there are front and back pictures. These are 4 inch round mirrors with the same rise and run as the stock mirrors. They are also 10mm thread, so plug and play. Fit and finish is as good as OEM. The stems are about 1/16 inch smaller than the OEM mirrors. If you want the original Honda part, they go for about $60 a pair and are stamped with manufacturer's name and made in japan. The EMGO mirrors have no markings.  Took a ride yesterday...they are steady.

So some pics on the 800. Last shot is for Troll. Picture he's seen before...1939 Meguro (the predecessor of the W650) taken in the early 1950's in Japan......take a look at the mirror...same pattern...
