I gotta choke my carbs to maintain speed after 50 without carbs running like crap?..I rebuilt them and it ran great but bad gas in had to take apart and clean now it runs crappy after 50 mph

Consider starting a new thread where you tell us bike/year/model stuff. Having to run with "choke" on to hold 50mph is silly!

Well I got down and looked at exhaust while it was running, and its leaking in 3 different spots. I was wondering if there is a cheap replacement for the crossover pipe and do I really need it? I think 1 of the leaks is from rust out but I'm not sure yet. The other 2 are the gaskets at the crossover. Thanks for any help.
