What if I unhooked the brake line going to the capiler and pluged the line off. If the newer bikes only have one front brake I should be able to get by with just one.

You could apply a vacuum pump to the caliper end of the line and see if you can get clear brake fluid out of it.

I think a brake system overhaul is in order - master cylinder (seals and boots), lines hoses (vacuum clean), flexible hoses (replace)and rebuild of calipers. Make sure to blow out all orifices with compressed air to make sure they are clear. Bleed the system at least twice.
