Sure sounds like air in the line somewhere. Did you bench bleed the master cylinder before installation? How did you bleed the rest of the system? Did you bleed all six bleeder valves?

When you rebuilt the brakes, did you replace the master cylinder? If so, does it have the same size piston as the one you removed?

Also, what is the friction coefficient ink stamped on the edges of the pads? "FF" would be a good answer.

Gerry, did you give the brake pads a chance to break in? I always like to put about 75 miles. See if they get better. Sometimes the contact surface is not quite flat. just a thought.also brake rotor finish is important. If you machined the rotors it also need some time to smooth out.
