That's an extra ground connection probably for a three terminal signal flasher that Honda used in some market - I've never seen this wire used on a stock bike. There's no reason to connect it to ground, it's already ground.

Yes it's just an artifact of the "build one for the whole world" idea,   It's a euro flasher connection

I recently restored and sold a 77 cb750f, and am nearly finished with a (former basket case) cb750k5.  This is a place to share, learn and enjoy.  I am grateful to and for 99+% of this site's membership.

That is true, the question comes up every few years. They probably used the same harness for several models.
