Hi David,
How did you adjust the master-cylinder push-rod/clevis assembly? How did you adjust the brake pedal position? Sometimes, after having adjusted the brake pedal stroke and position, there may be apply a pressure applied on the master-cylinder, even when the brake pedal is released. Not enough to lock the brakes when cold, but it makes the all system heating up, and can lead to a break locking after a while (and even a brake loss if overheating). So perhaps you should try to momentary put your brake pedal as far back at possible (completely released with no pressure on the M/C), even if it is not comfortable, but just for checking if you still have this brake locking problem in these conditions (when you are sure the pedal is not applying any pressure on the M/C when released).
