Looks suspiciously like early Goldwing with twin discs and those floating calipers.

The above picture has the bolts in the wrong way as far as I can see. The steel bracket in above is behind the fork leg lugs in the first picture with the bolts passing through from the front.
They appear to be the same calipers.
Think (struggling to remember any other model) that the Goldwing was the only model with spoked wheel and twin disc fitment of that era. Some of the others that worked in dealers will know.
It went from 750F1 with single disc spoked wheel,  then Goldwing came with that caliper arrangement,  shortly followed by Comstars with twin discs on the 750F2 so I think it's unique to that bike. May be wrong though.

Well in middle of building a gs550 scrambler. But on the look out for another 750 .or I might start on the 400 four I've got but that needs a lot of work .

I'm sure they'll all end mint as your 750 was, I've started to hanker for a 400 4, had a burgundy one with gold pinstripe when I was 18, F2 if memory serves, cracking bikes, get some photos up of the scrambler when you can Yozzer 👍
