exactly...the one attached to the spring is the Braking Light sensor, letting folks know you've applied your brakes, when you let off the rear brake pedal the tail light remains on, when you step on it the light gets brighter..also very important as it lets everyone behind you know you're slowing down and should keep one from getting rear ended, due to the Braking light sensor NOT hooked up to that spring, that goes to the cable and bracket he showed the other day with the 3 brackets he asked about, one is what holds the end of the cable where the spring attaches, almost sure there's some kind of sensor in the end of that cable? not 100% fairly certain there is though...that sends the rear light more power to brighten the tail light showing the bike's braking and slowing down..
