Default I hope I've finally fixed my brakes

I took some free time this afternoon to mess with my brake lines again. I pulled off the calipers and pushed the pistons all the way back in with the speed bleeders open to see if there was any air trapped behind the pistons. On the right side just a tiny bubble or two while bleeding them, but on the left side there was a HUGE bubble trapped in there. I hope this finally clears it up. It was getting old wondering if the bike would slow down when I squeezed the lever or if it would just go back to the bar.
Definitely not very confidence inspiring.

Good to hear it man! You were a brave man zipping around the track in that condition.

I wish I could just buy that Brembo master cylinder I want, but $400 is a big chunk of change right now!
