Where does this wire from my harness go? ('03 r50)

I'm just about 90% done swapping an '05 r50 motor into an '03. I've put my intake back together and now I have an extra wire from the end of my harness that i can't find where it is supposed to connect.

The wire in question comes out of the fuel injector wiring box, the black strip right behind the fuel rail. There's three wires that come out of the bottom of the passenger side end of that strip. One of them curves around the valve cover and connects to the cam position sensor on the side of the head. The second one connects to the wire from the alternator on that little bracket that bolts in with the motor mount. Where does the third one go?

I can post pics if it'll help anyone. I can't seem to find it from looking at the exploded views on realoem.


edit: Typical. As soon as I posted this I went out and looked at the harness that came off the motor I bought and that wire was still connected to its part that I had taken off. It runs to that little cylindrical thing on that same bracket that is held down by the motor mount bolt on that side (the one that also holds the wire for the alternator).
