So after trying to bleed my brakes, My brake lever now compresses all the way with no resistance. I bled the air out of the system, out near the bolt that holds the line on, everything i could think of. Any suggestions?
Sounds like you could have air on the master cylinder. Try having that free of air before you bleed the rest of the system.
I always vacuum bleed mine, I found that gives the best results. The one time I tried to bleed with just pumping & opening the bleeder I could not get them to bleed.

Never works 100% for me for some reason. Good'ol fashioned way for me to finish off after the vacuum.

What bike?
Different bikes have different rear caliper positions which may affect the steps needed to bleed the rear brakes properly.
It was his front on his 695.
I sold him my 696 stocker. the other one was toast.
We spent the better part of an evening swapping it out and adjusting his bars/controls.
The guy that had it before made a slight error in drilling the controls and was causing the turnsignal assembly to scratch his tank. adjusting the steering stock to stop it didn't let it lock the steering... but we got it.
now if someone will just give him a stock left can he can remove the evidence of his lowside ;)
