Default Need Help With ID

Hi new here,
I'm hoping to identifying this bike that's been in my fathers shed for 40+ years.

Thanks,

I know it's a Sprint. I don't know year or CCs. Looks like early 60's, maybe a 250? Maybe you can google Harley Davidson Sprint and see if any photos match? This bike has been heavily modified, so you are looking for motor and frame pictures.

Thanks Joe I will look into that. No I was just looking to ID this bike as it also has a left hand kick start.

OK, it's a Sprint 250, early 60's. They did have a left side kickstart. The motor number may give a clue to the year.
