Saltshaker,

To clarify,By reducing the bore diameter of the M/C you will incease the line pressure at any given pedal pressure, however it will take more pedal stroke to achieve that pressure. This is benificial to a point, as it improves you ability to modulate the brake force, provided you have enough stroke length.

It sounds like you’re on the right track as far as the parts and pedal ratio go.
Do you have braided lines?
Are the F&R pads the same compound?
Bleeding can be a huge pain in the arse.
Did you bench bleed the M/C?
I pressure bleed from the wheels back towards the M/C to get all the major air out. Then finish with a few "pump the pedal" cycles for good measure.
I use a big syringe and clear vinyl tubing, just make sure to watch the fluid level in the reservoir.
