Z1000 rear shock

Just picked up a Z1000 2009 which came with a non-standard rear shock fitted. I was told that the shock fitted was from a ZX-14 ?? I was also given the original.
How do I identify a ZX-14 shock and the original?
Thanks

Where did you buy bike?
I'm pretty sure Disco's Zed had a zx14 shock in it? Might be his bike?

If it doesn't wheelie
it might be Disco's. And yes, it had a ZX-14 shock in it, I put it in
Does it look like this

Did it make much of an improvement over the standard shock?

Well, its white and silver and has yoshi pipes and what appears to be a zx-14 shock bolted on. And, it does wheelies
