HI everyone. I bought a new 2024 Black 800 on Saturday and I hate the mirrors! Im used to looking in the mirror without moving my head. Can someone recommend a mirror the is more out there? ( I dont think extenders are going to work due to the hardware on the handle bars

Welcome to the club.

Mirror extenders should work without interfering with any other hardware, certainly anything OEM.
Alternatively, there are various aftermarket mirrors that might help.

Unusual but remember that the hand guards are not necessarily designed for that specific bike.
Is it not possible to cut or file the hand guard down without affecting its strength?

My 800 came with bar end mirrors. They worked OK, but was always bumping them plus had to remove for OEM handguards. I bought a set of Kemimoto mirrors on Amazon that were identical to a Versys 300 I had. They work great for me.

That is what I have on my DL650. They work well
At the time you could also buy them with an indicator on the back, and LED's within the mirror to remind you they were on.
