could be a few things

if you are confident the brakes are correctly bled up (if only changing front calipers you shouldn't have had to touch the backs)

are the rear shoes correctly adjusted up?

I take ti your still using the rear proportioning valves? Did you have pressure on the swing arm? Otherwise they wont bleed up.
