Default Any help with identifying

Hello, new here so hopefully this isn't the completely wrong place to ask this and hopefully I don't get chastised for it.
I am currently disassembling my 2020 1200 sportster and ha e found these two components that I'm just not 100% on what they are. I'm hoping I can get some help identifying it just to gain knowledge. Thanks in advance / sorry in advance if this isn't the correct place.

These two electrical components located on top of the transmission here. Any help would be appreciated.

You should get yourself a factory service manual.

As has been stated, a manual is essential. And will be invaluable when putting it back together.

The starter and solenoid, and it appears there is a speed sensor with the allen bolt attaching it to the transmission.

Manuals help but you can look your ride up and find the parts in question, or any other part, at the following link.
