Your not going to get the same power out of your rear brake with ABS or linked as you would with non-abs. Its the function of the system. Its designed to work together. I lock up my rear (nonabs)with just a small amount of pressure to the point i have to be careful slowing down on any curve to a stop sign, my rear is that affective.
However, i know what you are feeling, my XX Blackbird with linked brakes is the same way. I can stand up on the seat and kill the rear and it feels like a poorly adjusted E brake in a car. Nothing wrong with the system just the design. I still works well just different.
If you had air in the system you would surely know right away when you hit the brakes. You could change the lines, pads etc. but i don't think that's going to give you that planted brake that you get from non-abs.
