sandblaster:
Did you use a vacuum tool to draw the fluid or did you gravity bleed?
Sometimes even with a vacuum tool they can be a pain.
If you have someone that can help, you have them pump the tool while you keep the reservoir full and you also actuate the brake system.
Sometimes nothing else will work...

I haven't used a vacuum pump thing, I got the piston in the caliper to pump out then push it back a few times till all the air was gone,
I have tried holding the caliper at different angles wile bleeding it, I wonder if there is air in the master cylinder that won't come out?
SOHC:
Sandblaster was right, there was still air in the rear brakes, Used the syringe to pull the fluid through and now it has a good peddle.
Rugged expansion chamber and plastics let the bike down look wise. I will post some photos soon.
LukeG:
A handy tool someone suggested for me was a one way valve for bleeding brakes. Stops air going back into the line after you have pumped and makes it easy if you are trying to do it by yourself.
Looking forward to seeing this one done!

Both my radiator hoses look more like the one on your left side, the one with the "slight" bend. They must have changed the design a bit in the aftermarket hoses.
There are a couple pics of the hose setup in my build thread.
