Will a 2nd gen clutch basket fit in a MKII first gen?

I think it's the same part but the number is a little different

The part number for the first 1st gen clutch basket (Primary Driven Gear to be precise) is 26H-16150-00-00, the 2nd gen is 26H-16150-10-00, the position of the additional "10" in the reserved section of the part number I believe indicates "first revision", if the part were not backward compatible you would expect a new part number not a revised one. Usually when I see that I take it as an indicator that the new part will fit the old bikes but the old one may not fit the new bike. No guarantees of course.

 

Considering what those things go for, I'd pull the old one off the bike and compare them carefully, if the new one doesn't match up then you've got the old one out, cleaned up and ready to be dressed. Assuming it needs it of course.
