Front wheel noise common?
When coasting in neutral, engine off, I can hear a faint "shhhhhhh" noise that isn't road noise and sounds more like the brake pads barely brushing the rotors.
Is some noise normal or is it something that needs correcting?
Background: Finally replaced the stock front wheel on my 2011 Street Glide 103/ABS with a take-off Agitator black ice wheel. Looks amazing (imho).

It is quite common and not abnormal. My brand new '04 Dyna did it quite a bit but my '07 Ultra does not. It is as you suggest, the brake pads slightly rubbing.
If the noise becomes excessive and starts to sound more like a grinding/squealing sound then you may want to put it up on a jack and rotate the wheel to make sure it's not your bearings. That would be a problem to address immediately.
