So RJ's method worked.
Last night I let the car gravity bleed for about 2 hours and I eventually started seeing fresh fluid at all 4 corners. Then I just went ahead and pumped about half a bottle of fluid through the system with all the valves open. I did a normal partner bleed during lunch today and now the brakes feel great. I'm glad I didn't have to pull the MC and bench bleed it, really just because I'm lazy. RJ I will buy you a beer next time I see you.
Also, there is a dramatic difference between old rubber lines with 170k miles on them and a new set of braided stainless steel lines. The brakes have never felt this good.
