If that noise happens only when you apply the brakes, it's most likely normal. The vent holes click when they pass under the pads - especially when brand new. All my Dyna's have done it.

If it happens When NOT braking, then I can't offer any suggestions.

Sounds like you forgot a spring which applies pressure to the pads.
