I need need some help with a wire..
So here I am putting my bike back together and trying to get everything plugged in and working, and I am just boggled by this.
and I am at a loss. What the Hell does this plug into?
I searched and searched my wire diagrams and I found 1.... just one three wire plug that has the same colors.
Mind you I don't have a Cali bike so I am assuming this is on all harness's and I shouldn't be freaking out? Or am I missing something?

Not an expert here, but I know that car manufacturers have harnesses with unused connectors all the time. Saves time and money to build one harness vs five different ones. That being said, can you trace those 3 wires to where they go? If its the same as in your manual, and if the little pins in that connector look like they've never been used, I wouldn't worry about it.

+1 - IIRC, the CA bikes had a butterfly solenoid valve mounted on the stock A/C that the cable plugged into.

My 1991 did not have that butterfly valve on the stock aircleaner, just a reed valve setup. Of course, my bike was a very early production model for CA, could have changed during the year. I don't recall seeing a connector like that on my bike, and my 1991 FSM does not show one on the wiring diagram.
I just wish my wiring diagram was in color, it's hard to read it in black print only, especially the color codes.
