hi, something is wrong, look at the left brake cylinder on the front wheel

Hi Alan - unless you removed all the fluid before bleeding, I would expect that the modulator would probably not be an issue, unless it was faulty before you started.
Due to the linked brakes, the front left caliper also needs to be bled using the foot brake pedal. I changed the fluid on mine a couple of years back and had no issues at all - started on the front right, then front left (using front brake lever), then rear, then front left using the rear brake pedal, then repeated the procedure.
 
I think either there is a lot of air in the system or there is no brake fluid in the second glass

check master cylinder, possible leak

or it didn't work or you did something wrong...

I couldn't change the brake fluid alone, especially bleed the rear, my son helped me, how could you change everything alone?
