It goes behind the brake light switch to hold it tight in the switch housing.

No offense so please don't get upset when I write this.

Why would you tear into your bike without a manual?????

BTW, Did you put a spacer in you brake lever before you pulled it off?

The manual explain how to do this and why it's important.

Good luck on your install.

haha. No offense taken. I have the manual but I guess I didn't read it close enough. the manual doesn't show a picture of where the spring goes.
