Default clutch issues

Have a 68 Electraglide and when it gets warm the clutch gets really hard to pull in. So much Im afraid I will brake a cable. I put in new clutch disc, cable and adjusted to where it works great when its cold but when it get to temp the clutch lever is about impossible to pull in.. any help would be appreciated.
thanks
Will

New throw-out... Bell type [hopefully as that is O.E.] but... the Chiwanese are **** poor at best!!! Good luck

and... Who adjusted the Pack Springs????
"Adjusted" ???? By the book?? Starting at the Correct clutch arm angle is Mission Critical...
Many unanswered Questions here...
