Safe is relative. I said you would not have 100% braking effectiveness in an emergency braking situation. I would drive it, especially with the ABS as a safety blanket, but I would not let my wife drive it.

If you system was working effectively before, and you got bubbles out of the bleeders without a full replacement of the fluid (how much did you go through?) you likely introduced the bubbles.

I am not saying you did not run the MC dry, but at what point in the bleeding did you get the bubbles?

The redneck pressure bleeder is made from a spare MC cap, about $5 in plumbing parts and a $6-9 garden sprayer. The only tools you need are a drill and appropriate sized bit and an adjustable wrench. Solved all my bleeding problems...almost.
