I have the big red brakes and when bled w/ the two-man system, the pedal is rock hard. For whatever reason (user error?) I don't always get the same pedal feel after using a Motive bleeder.

Have you looked at the check valve at the reservoir? George Suennen has a writeup on it on his webpage under "brake check valve".

No thoughts on the brake bias changes?
The bias won't make the brakes feel soft, just helps lock up the rear quicker!
He states he has a Tilton bias valve in place.

I bet Greg is correct. There is still air in the system.

Have you/Are you using a pressure bleeder rather than a "mighty vac" type vacuum bleeding process. I've had MUCH greater success with pressure bleeding on ABS systems than using the vacuum system.

He stated Power Bleeder at the beginning. I would take that to be one of the Motive units. The thing is, you go from outside to inside, he went the opposite way.
