Default braking issue

hello all.. i have a badland buggy st2. and im having braking issues. i am using the caliper of a gr650 streetbike. i have tried numerous master cylinders out of cars bikes etc but i cannot seem to get the brakes to function.. ive reverse bled them .. im at a loss here as to what to do.. ive used the caliper and rotor off the bike.. to make the lines long enough. i used the bike flex hose with the banjo fittings to a block i machined to accept the banjo fitting on one side then have a tapped hole to accept normal brake line on the other.. i ran normal brake line to another block that has the opposite so that the caliper is attached with another motorcycle hose with banjo fittings.. if anyone has any pictures of there brake setups id greatly appreciate it.. this has me stumped!! ill try and get some pics here in the next day or so..

guess i should have stated that yes it is pumping brake fluid.. i was just concerned that one caliper was not enough to stop it?? or should i be looing deeper into my caliper????

A single disc brake on a minibuggy is a date with - not stopping in time.

Install front brakes too. You'll be glad you did.
