I have only found four so far listed for the Drifter. One was the K46001-038 and the other three were 99990-114 A, B & C. All four come with the Drifter sticker.I'm sure people will be interested.
As you know no Drifters came with windshields, they were all add-on accessories. My Kaw F&S windshield didn't have a decal like that, but I have a 1500 and a 2002 so perhaps it was either 800 or year specific?
, not that it matters much. I have seen it before and It's a nice addition.
Keep us advised.
I have come to suspect that the 99990 series accessories were designed and/or made in Germany, but cant yet be certain. I also don't yet know for sure that the 99990 parts are F&S although they do turn up in what appears to be official Kawasaki catalogues.
I know that the blades with trim for the four kits above are interchangeable. I also know that other F&S windshield blades with trims listed for other bikes will fit the brackets from these four kits, although the screens have different profiles.
Perhaps you had a replacement blade (the clear plastic part in UK speak) or perhaps a previous owner had removed the decal (sticker).
The stickers are on order, so let's hope that they are good enough quality to grace our Drifters.

- August 10, 2018, 15:43:02 PMWhen I found my Drifter windshield it was NOS in the box and came with all the mounting brackets. The windshield had the same "Drifter decal/sticker on it that Pete posted. Since the windshield was NOS, the place where it was stored caused the decal/sticker to shrink and deform. After I peeled it off, I used "GOO GONE" and a soft cloth to safely remove the glue left behind. GOO GONE is great stuff, it didn't harm the windshield in the least.

- August 09, 2018, 06:36:42 AMI'm keeping my E2 in its factory state. However, I am replacing the windshield blade because it's getting a bit dull and scuffed in places. I can't get a Kawasaki original blade, so I'm getting one from Rifle.
All four of the Drifter windshields of Kawa origin of which I am aware came with a Drifter Decal, and because I'm keeping mine original I'm getting a batch of repro decals made.
If they turn out to be of adequate quality I might offer them on the forum if there is enough interest. Please let me know if you might be interested.
The decal looks like this (reversed because it's stuck on the inside of the windshield):
