I'm not sure what you mean by "sticky" behavior, but a couple things come to mind. CB919 brakes, to my recollection, felt at least as good as the CB1100.
DOT 5 brake fluids may not be compatible with the rubber seals or with other brake fluids. Honda doesn't recommend it, only DOT 4.
The brake lever pivot bolt and lever tip are often overlooked as they may be dry and cause a "creaking" sound/feel.
When you say you used grease on the calipers, I assume that was only on the caliper brackets' sliding pins.
Everything may appear fine otherwise, including inside the chamber and piston, but caliper piston seals often have corrosive buildup underneath them that causes them to grab the piston too tightly.
