looks like the type 641 from
http://www.wilbers.de/en/wilbers_federbein.php (http://www.wilbers.de/en/wilbers_federbein.php)

I upgraded my OEM FJR shock to a basic Wilbers 80,000km ago and was really satisfied. Maybe in need of a rebuild now ($95-$125 depending on the model).

If you are interested, I would ask how many miles its' got on it and how it is sprung (number is on the spring) and I have the magic decoder ring to interpret.
