The green wire hooks up to the red wire in the headlight bucket and turns the signals into blinking Xmas lights, perfect for this time of year!

The Electrical Engineers at Honda were just messing with us.

Honda foresaw the "Green" movement and added that wire as a gesture of solidarity.

You just can never be "too green".

At first the movie "Back To The Future" was going to use a 1974 Honda CB750, rather than the DeLorean.
The green wire was to hook up to the Flux Capacitor's main relay!

I think they must have been really laughing when they made the black wire positive.  :D
