Front Brake M/C probs!

After putting the brakes back on the bike at the weekend, i cant get them to feel anywere near as firm and responsive as my road bike running virtually the same set up, 4 pad calipers, 2 feeds, and the late style M/C. After bleeding thru and not getting any were near the feel they should have i cable tied the lever back to try and force air to the top, but have noticed there is a slight leek at all 3 bleed nipples.
Is the M/C shagged, is there a rebuild kit available? Im going to try new stainless bleed nipples first! But if theres no joy and no rebuild kit available it looks as tho it may have to be a radial that takes its place!
