OK... I feel silly and almost want to delete this post, but maybe someone else might learn something.
Remember, I come from a single brake line environment... I just assumed the front reservoir was for the front brakes and the rear for the rear brakes...
I switched the brake lines around so the front brakes operate off the rear line from the master, and the rear is now hooked up to the front of the master.
I still have to get more air out of the lines and re-adjust the brakes, but it does seem to be working. I am just mad.. I had the lines nicely bent with all the right bends and even a stress relief circle, and now they are all bent up to fit. Maybe later on I will make new lines with the right bends.. Sorry guys for bending your ears...
