What wire does this go to??? 75 Cb550F

Not sure if it’s crucial but anyone know? Brown with blue stripe. Found in headlight housing.

Turn Signal Buzzer
What is a buzzer?? And do you know what wire it attaches to? I don’t see another blue/brown wire

There should be a "buzzer" beneath the headlight, in front of the coils. It sort of chimes when you activate the indicators. It plugs into the other end of a Blu/Brn wire from that device.

Looks like this:

I’m going aftermarket led signals and aftermarket healdight. I don’t really need it, do i?

The purpose of the buzzer is to remind you to turn the signals off after use. it can be disconnected without affecting anything else

Just fold the end over and seal with good electrical tape to prevent shorts. You don't need the buzzer and as My Name if Nobody says, disconnecting it doesn't hurt anything.

Should be, but likely isn't. Many (most?) people remove them as they are annoying as hell. It's one of the first things I do when I get a bike that has them.

But if you remove the buzzer, how do you get people to stare at you at the traffic lights?

By leaving your turn signal on for miles and miles because there is no buzzer to tell you to turn it off?

 I have a 78 goldwing, it's buzzer beeps above 40 mph, below 40 it clicks loudly and at lower speeds it clicks quietly. I like it.  I always thought it was an anomaly, apparently it's a design feature.
 You should find a tab on the inside of the left headlight ear with a square hole, that's where the beeper was.
No matter how many times you paint over a shadow, it's still there.
