I've cleaned the carbs and swapped them out with perfectly good ones, i figured it was something with vacuum lines or the petcock on the gas tank. any help would be greatly appreciated before i take it to a shop and get owned

Simple stuff first: hanging idle sounds like an uber lean condition at idle. However, since this is still occurring with a different set of carbs as well, I'm betting on the bike, not the carbs. Are your carb boots properly attached to the carbs? Check all the connections (airbox to boots, boots to carbs, carbs to tubes, tubes to engine) by spraying wd-40 on each individual connection while the bike is idling. If the engine revs, you found a leaky point on your intake.
Sorry if that's already been suggested and tested, I might have missed it in all those posts.
