The Drifter I almost bought before mine had been overhauled to resemble a '48 Indian Chief, and had the proper badging and fender ornament to match. It didn't bother me, and it looked good enough to be a factory job so I'd planned on leaving it Indian-badged. My current one was stripped before I got it; the only Kawasaki badge on the bike is the one on the gauge plate.
Personally I think the Drifter is a better example of an Indian (let's face it, when was the last time you saw an Indian with 100k on the odo?) than even the Indians themselves, so I look at it like this. Why would I want my prime rib to look like an angus burger? Ultimately, though, it's your bike and you're probably the only one that will argue the point with yourself so the best course of action is to do whatever you think will look best.

I got tired of seeing nothing on my tank because somebody debadged it as a Vulcan and so I'm buying some Indian decals for it haha yes it is a faux Indian. When I explained to people that it's actually a Kawasaki they don't seem to care too much one way or the other anyway so what the heck
