Dennis kirk should have your exhaust gasket or you can try bike bandit, as for the bogging that could be a couple of things like low compression, dirty carburetor, wrong oil to gas mixture, old spark plug.

exhaust gasket should be an easy deal,and the bogging problem could just be dirty carb.take apart and clean well.should be on the top five list of things you do when you pick up a new to you ride.dump gas,change oil,change plug,clean carb,and check your wires for booger jobs:beer

The only site your going to get this that i know of brand is MrCycles.com they got breakdowns of bikes and will have your gasket. They go back to 1959!

For the bogging use Carburetor cleaner spray from auto parts store like $4.99 take your carb off by unscrewing the top . Then take off the 2 screws on the bottom where your floats are. Spray it from top to bottom. Carburetor cleaner burns the skin off my hands and trust me your clogged jet will become unclogged. But everything back together and start up and you should be fine.
