I just got done putting my brakes back together with basically all new parts short of the metal bits, and I have what I feel to be excessive lever travel before the brake pads actually engage the rotor. I searched through the FSM looking for an actual number of how much play should be there, and I find nothing. The lever feel is rock solid, and that is what is getting me. I am used to air in the system making for squishy controls, but I don't have that, just nice smooth travel for nearly two inches, then a solid lever. I've cracked all the fittings in an effort to free any air that might be hiding in the system, so what am I missing and how much lever travel is appropriate?
