Common circuit (Brown Wire) Question was created by WyoDan

What should the brown (common circuit) wire behind the headlight be plugged into? It's a female connector coming from the main body of the wiring harness. Bike is a 1971 DT1 250  I can't tell from the wiring diagram. 

A photo would be nice. I can also email you a photo of what I'm referring to if possible. Couldn't get one to attach here. 

Thanks

Brown is switched live. It feeds everything when the ignition is switched on.

Female spade or female bullet connector?

If spade, probably goes to the horn. There would be a pink wire nearby.

Yeah I did figure that out. Just nothing apparant and obvious that it plugs into. IE no brown male ends to plug to.

Female bullet. Horn is separate and working. It is pink though!

Front brake light switch - see link below. You should have a green/yellow wire with a female bullet connector in there as well.
