I hope you cleaned the outer pistons in the calipers before you pushed them in otherwise you will get chatter. Zip tie the brake lever overnight to get any air out and see if that helps. You did not bleed them correctly. After you zip tie is done wrap a rag around the banjo bolt at the master cylinder and pump the master and hold then open the banjo bolt to get any air out of their also. Do this until it improves.

My brakes were soft after a long winter. I have always left the cap on but this week was the only time I have ever taken it off but left the rubber in. Leave the cap on first and you will notice a difference the next day.

The stock brake master cylinder can get a bubble at the upper banjo joint. There is no bleeder up top so you have squeeze the lever and back off the banjo bolt to let the air out. Make sure you cover everything with rags so you don't get fluid everywhere.
