At £70 a set for pattern parts, it's well worth trying the black or clear silicone.
I bought a set of these a few weeks ago from M&P and they are exactly the same brand (Ars) as the originals.

Recently I noticed that the cracks on two of the rubbers were far deeper & extensive than on the other pair. Decided to bite the bullet & ordered a set as above from M&P for £69-99 delivered. The rubber is actually quite thick so worth checking depth of cuts before laying out cash for new ones-the silicone treatment will be fine on light to moderate cracks.
I tried to take the "long view" as was experiencing an unsteady idle & decided to give the carbs a complete overhaul as the bike now 15 years old.
In the end I replaced both air & fuel filters & purchased 4 carburettor overhaul kits, again from M&P @ £9-99 each.
Removing the carbs is not something I would want to do more than necessary as there is limited access.
One thing did help refitting carbs to new rubbers & that was a light application of red rubber grease around the new rubbers & a thin piece of soft wood on the airbox side of carbs to apply gentle even pressure to pop all 4 in simultaneously.
Finally a carb balance & shes running like she should.
Once every 15 years I can cope with!
