Default Going nuts

So i relocated my ignition and coil and now i'm putting all the wiring back together. There is one connector i have no clue where it goes and i am seriously going nuts. It's a small black nozzle bent 90 degrees. I've looked all over and i am sure it is on the front end of the bike in the middle somewhere but can't find it....please help because i decide to blow the bike and garage up.

Look around for a small stud that it would slip over probably brass,could be a temp,or oil pressure switch maybe something around the carb,what year is the bike.

Crank position sensor is down behind the oil filter. There is also a temp sensor down the middle of the rear head.

Thanks for the quick responses guys. It is at the front of the bike. Looks like this and i'm wondering if it plugs into that little stud in the second pic like chappy mentioned.

this has to have been the most brutal thing i have EVER done. Should take 2 hours and it took me about 10 hours. Best part, put it all back together and it doesn't start now. All electrical is fine, alarm, turn signals, power, horn but it just doesn't turn over. It's tries but just doesn't catch.
