Default front brake springer?

06 Springer-question about front brake pads---pad closest to brake piston is over 1/2 wore out the other pad is like brand new
bike has 2200 miles on it. Is this normal for single piston front brake on springer front end or is it the pad material, the brake does not
stick or hang up in any way.

Better have it checked out. They should wear evenly during normal useage. There may be some blockage that is preventing one pad from operating correctly.
