What happens if you loosen the outlet fitting at the MC ?
Did you disassemble and clean the residual pressure valve ?
The RPV would be my first suspect (it's supposed to hold the front brakes on
slightly, although not enough to trip the brake light switch). Second would
be problems at the MC, either the pushrod adjusted a bit too long or
possibly the MC assembled wrong.
