Default Clutch adjustment every 100 miles?

Could use some help with my clutch problem. I've got a 95 Softail and have to adjust the clutch after a hundred miles or so. There's always adjustment there when i have to do this but I can't figure out why this happens.

The adjustments are made by the book and everything is properly tightened when done. Neutral is easy to find and clutch release is normal. As the problem progresses, release gets quicker, the bike tries to move with the clutch disengaged and neutral is next to impossible to find. Another adjustment solves it for a while. Anyone experienced this before?

Check your throw out bearing.

Thanks Mark.
The throwout bearing was toast when I took it apart Sunday. It was replaced but the bike is still on the lift for some additional work this weekend. Time and a few miles will determine if that was the all of the problem or not.
