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've gone back and researched the archives. I have been able to piece together some information. Mine is K46001-023 (black version is 024). Kaw (apparently) contracted with National Cycle to make the original shields. They created a "Vintage" model which had a certain shaped shield and the one inch strap.In 2001, when Drifter went chrome, the decal was on the "new" shield. This was K46001-038. At some point, they added K46001-023 and 024 ( sometimes referred to as "Standard" model) to the F&S line. This had the wide band in either chrome or black and the shield shape was a different from 038. It also had 6 holes on the horizontal strap vs 5 on the 038. Also, I see back in 2011 we had 4 NOS replacement plastic for 038 for sale, and these DID have the decal. So for Drifters you could have either the 038 or 023/024. The 038 had decals, the 024 had decals for the wide band, but you paid $35 extra for them. Back in 2007 I researched 800 shields for someone and came up with this:The whole windshield is P/N - K46001-038 ($439.95)The plastic is P/N - K46001-031 ($164.95)The windshield emblem is P/N - 56051-1810 ($39.95)For those searching for replacement plastic: The 038 is a 5 hole shield. 023 is a 6 hole shield. So for replacement plastic be sure you know which hardware you have. You may find either of these on 800's or 1500's.

I know you guys have figured this out, but just for the record.....have a 2002 and a 2005 800....both came with the WS1 windshield and the decal on the inside surface.
Attached is a pix of my 'still in the box' F&S Windshield.
The decals have arrived earlier than promised.The outline is a little more noticeable than the original Kawasaki sticker, but good enough for me. I'm having trouble getting a photo of one on my new Rifle blade - too many reflections. I will post one when I manage to get a good shot.
