Be patient when bleeding the brakes, it can take a while before they feel right.
Once done if you tie the front lever back over night it can eek out any missed bubbles and they'll rise to the top, just to give it that extra bite.
If possible put the bike on the centre stand, turn the steering to the side to level the master cylinder and just loosen the cap screws so the lid isn't air tight so that any excess bubbles will rise to the top easier.
I normally shove a load of rag around it too to avoid any damage from possible spillage.
And i know it sounds daft but i'll put something on my bike as a blatant reminder that those screws are loose and need tightening before moving the steering.
