I had a similar problem.. the MC was good.. but it wasnt bleed right and it had air stuck in it. Have you tried bleeding the master again?

Then after re-bleeding it with a vacuum pump, I lifted the rear end high in the air and let the front sit low.. cracked the rear wheel cylinders and let it gravity bleed overnight using the little bottles with the magnet on the back (at advance autoparst for $6) and made sure they were higher than the master.

That seemed to have gotten it for me.
