Default Cycle Identification

I ran across an old photo of my father sitting on my grandfathers sidecar-equipped motorcycle. The photo was most likely taken around 1920-1924. I realize there is next to nothing to go on to identify the bike from straight on, but maybe someone out there can identify the make. From looking at Google Images of sidecars from that era I believe it most closely resembles a Harley Davidson sidecar, so that probably identifies the bike as well, but not necessarily so. I'd appreciate any informed guesses. Thanks in advance!

Well, no, I couldn't make it any smaller, or bigger for that matter on the original post. However, when I clicked on it in the post it did increase in size.
