gas shut off on 1962 pan

[sailfish]

Is the gas shut off on the top of the left tank ? My 62 has it under the left and i think that is wrong please help.

it's a rod that goes through the tank and is activated on top by the gas cap. Twist it open for on and pull the rod up for reserve.

my 62 panhead is a police bike and the shut is on the bottom but the rod runs to the top of the tank and you have to pull down on it at the bottom of the tank on the front left side. (up in front of the gas cap)

I've never seen a factory set up like that before. I have an aftermarket set up in my stash like that, that's unused. My 62 and my buddy's 65 are both Police bikes and they are as I described.
