Just to double check your work...
You did install the adjustable prop valve on the rear brake line right?
Also, have you adjusted the prop valve all the way in the other direction?

ya me and a buddy double checked bleeding. Yes i got a proportioning valve and we got it all the way so that front are at the max braking bias compared to the rear and still the rear locks up. Its like the fronts aren't grabbing as well as they should, not anywere close, and the brake pedal feels spongy. we did 8-9 times when we bled. If someone solves this they will be my hero

Did you bench bleed the MC? If so, did you follow the preferred procedure for bleeding your brakes?
