I have a Custombike (with Harley Davison parts from Softail on it) but a Harley Dealer in Austria told me thats not an Softail
Because Frame and Engine is not from Harley
Somebody knows where the Frame and the Engine is from
Frame 2T19FDL43PR09724 ???
Engine 19B52376 on the right side of Engine and at the left side STD

yea that, the 17 digit US VIN standard has been around since 1981. Vehicles made for other countries do not follow our 17 digit standard. This is to prevent importing of non-compliant vehicles into the US.

Yeah, I thought that might be the case.

OP: Pictures would help, but it sounds like your engine is built with STD cases at least.
