Hi guys, is this a pro link clutch ? I own a 1979, and would like to upgrade the clutch. Is this it?

You do not show the key part well enough - the rear of the clutch basket. Also missing the shorter collar and extra thrust washer. The parts book clearly shows the different part numbers.

Thanks Dave. How about this image?

2nd picture in your first post, far left hand corner, this is your clutch basket, we need a close up picture to view the damper spring layout.

You really should read up on what you want and need to avoid problems later, the clutch won’t release completely with the wrong sleeve and washer combo.

Do a search, lots published here.

Well... Nevermind, they are just Facebook scammers

If you ever do find one for sale you’ll need closer and better pictures to assess their condition, those faraway fuzzy pictures are useless and a red flag for a buyer. A used clutch basket should be examined closely, there are parts that can show lots of wear or problems from misassembling from previous ownership.

Have you seen this?

Guy from Leeds says it's pro link... But it says drag racing...

It’s beautiful and completely unnecessary for your application.

Why unnecessary? They quote 370€. They also say it's made by Honda...?

It's not a Honda part! At this point you'd be much better off just rebuilding your stock clutch basket and moving on. Until you thoroughly research what the Pro-Link conversion involves, learn what the parts look like that you need, just chill on that idea. A rebuilt early basket is 75% as quiet as a GOOD, unworn Pro-Link one, and quieter than a well-worn one. If the springs are loose on a Pro-Link one, it's toast.

Also, regardless of which model, the basket "fingers" need to be examined for excessive "notching" that will hinder smooth release.
