Default Front Brake Noise??

I have noticed that I have a pretty load rubbing noise that can be heard at any speed below 50mph. I took it in for horn work and the dealer told me that it was fine they all have rubbing noise. Talk to a buddy with a Wide Gluide and he said it is harley brake pads. If so what kind of pads can be put on the help or is there a adjustment that can be made? I am at a loss of what to do next.

The stock pads are notorious for this.
GetZ-Plus Kevlar pads on there ASAP.

The brake pads on all disc brakes will rub. Motorcycles and automotive vehicles the pads will be close to the discs. There is no adjustment that can be done.
