Default clutch question

Ok, so a buddy of mine just bought a 1990 fxr that had been sitting awhile, well we got it going, up and running, anyways, the clutch constantly needs adjustment, so i took the center out of the clutch hub, pushrod and spacer and immediately realized that the spacer had been put in backwards by the previous owner, well it had wore the pushrod and spacer funny, so i replaced the pushrod, spacer, clutch hub adjuster and throw out bearing along with a new cable, this bike still keeps losing clutch adjustment, any idea of what it could be, it has all fresh fluid, and it only makes it 50-60 miles before needing adjustment again, please help

Pull the throw out bearing again. It may not be spinning and it is wearing the right pushrod down. It will have a blue color if this is happening.
