Talking 1982 XS400 Maxim front brake not quite working --- Solved for now

Hi all, I have a 82 XS400 Maxim with some front brake issues. I need to squeeze the lever all the way to get minimal braking. I squeeze the lever to see if there is anything moves at the caliper and nothing seems to move. Also when I squeeze the lever it doesn't seems to have a lot pressure. I don't know if it's normal but when I took my MSF course with a Honda, I can feel pressure when I squeeze the brake.

I would like to see what you guys think the problem is. Master Cylinder? Caliper?
