Not being able to get over 45 would indicate to me that you have an air leak somewhere, and a big one. Does the bike idle alright? Does it also buck like a bull with a yellow-jacket on it's haunches?

Take some WD-40 or some ether or something similar and give a little spritz to all areas of the carb where a seal or connection exists. If your idle changes at all while you do this, then you need to fix whatever is causing the leak.
