Are you looking to put on a new one or find one secondhand?

probably second hand, but can't find one ebay so thought another model one might fit, just don't know what one?

There are topics on here which might help on second-hand possibilities, I can't point you to where as I'm relatively new here.
Generally for new shocks, in ascending order of price:
Betor are the cheapest at around £135. (Not proven in the long term but I've bought one and have no complaints. I also have a '97 XJ600N)
There's a Hagon spring at £245 ish at Wemoto. (Good reputation)
Yamaha's own. Guess the price, I don't know, but that's just failed you anyway.
Others are well beyond the Hagon price tag.
Otherwise keep you eyes peeled on E-Bay for a direct replacement.

Check out the bush which carries the shock bottom mount.
The shock has snapped suggesting some bending action is going on at that point - the bush might have siezed up. If that has gone home, there's a good chance other swing arm beairngs are also on the way out or at least need cleaning and greasing.
