Tim, with symptoms as you describe, another worthwhile check is the master cylinder seals, especially if your brake pedal was moving a long way with no feel. Test by standing on the brake pedal (bike stationary! ) and keep your weight on it and see if it starts sinking down, if it does then suspect the seals are leaking fluid past them. Pumping the pedal sharply a few times (which flairs out the seals and reseats them) should return feel at the pedal. Stand on the pedal again and see if it drifts downward again, if so suspect worn seals, strip and replace.
