The 1983 XV750 front brake is of the pivoting caliper type and it is not a very good design. At least on my bike this brake is very inefficient (dangerous quite frankly). The pads are in reasonbly good condition and the disc is a little worn but not too badly.
Does any one know if there is a simple fix or possibly a replacement brake (and fork) from some other bike that will fit without too much rework?
Grateful for any useful info!
