i would seriously doubt that you bled it fully then.. if you look at the restrictor, you will see that it's pretty big volume..

But you're replacing the restrictor with a thin little hose. That's all the volume you've got to fill, then a little bit of fluid lost for bleeding, and the few drops that leak out when loosening the fittings on the stock line.

There wasn't much for me to bleed either.

You need to bleed it till there is a steady stream coming out and no more air.

Aside from sharing a reservoir, they're totally separate systems. Unless you forgot to tighten a connection and lost ALL your fluid, at worst you'd lose the ability to release your clutch. An un-bled clutch will have no effect on braking power.
