How did you bleed them? The first thing that comes to mind is that you didn't bleed them properly, or still have a stubborn air pocket trapped in the line. We were having trouble like this with my cousin's rear brake on his quadracer and even when following the proper procedure to bleed them it didn't build any pressure. We took it to the shop and it took him 3 minutes to get the air pocket out with a vacuum bleeder.

Air would be my guess too. When I did my wife's Bear Tracker, it took a lot of pumping and gravity feeding to get them bled to the point the brake lever had some resistance. Later I bought a MightyVac and it is now a cinch to bleed any brake system.

You should be able to get one at most auto parts stores.
