Default Front Brake help

I just installed a factory front master cylinder I purchased from a fellow member. I installed a new banjo bolt & washers. I vacuum bleed both calipers. I achieved a nice hard handle. But now I have brake noise. If i squeeze the handle slightly it goes away. It sounds like the squealers on a car when its time for new brakes. They were quite before this operation. Any sugestions?

Unless it is binding to the point where the pads will heat up and glaze, I would think they are just wearing in.
