If they're not leaking, don't worry.  Although they look bad cosmetically, the rubber is thick and leaks are very rare.   Take your time hunting down a set from a breaker or watch ebay.

One cheap repair you can do if you want to tidy the rubbers up is: remove them from the bike, cut some black electrical heat shrink to roughly fit (bit bigger), cover the rubbers in black mastic/rubber sealer (sorry not sure of trade names), whilst the mastic is wet slide on the heat shrink and using a heat gun (or carefully with your gas ring) shrink it to fit, allow to cool and mastic to set overnight, trim and excess shrink wrap and re fit to bike.
