Just a brown wire left...what is it for? 78 750F
« on: June 22, 2014, 06:41:09 PM »
I just got done squeezing everthing into the head light bucket but I had one sold brown wire left.  I can't find where it goes.  Everything on the bike works ...even the parking light so I am at a loss.  I did a search but didn't find a good answer for my bike which is a 78 CB750F.  I am just hoping to take it on it's first test ride in the next couple days and want to make sure something bad doesn't happen. Thanks

Front turn signal buzzer. Just leave it.
It tells you in the Clymers workshop manual wiring diagram.

Thank you.  My son has my manual at school with him for his bike and the schematic I was looking at online didn't help much with the poor color.  Thanks again ...I can now sleep tonight :)

:o :o :o

Brown is tail light The extra brown in the bucket is for a small bulb that is not used in the USA.
Blackhole don't believe every thing you read people do make mistakes as do I. Buzzer has a black ( hot with key on ) and a brown with blue tracer.
@ lucky maybe Clymers has a missprint :) I don't have one. I like the Honda factory service manual.

Yes you are correct. Brown with a blue stripe. Sorry.
I did not have my schematic in front of me.

Check this out. (For me making a mistake) My atonement.

This is the proper one for the 78 F2/F3:

Thanks for taking the time guys.  As long as I don't need it I will be fine.  I got the bike done today just in time for it to start raining for the next couple day.  I guess it will give me time to go get my plates and insurance as well as check nuts and bolts before I take it out.  Thanks again
