Hopefully someone else might know of something superior to Three Bond for this particular application.
Good Fortune!

I was thinking about that. This looks promising as well but can't find any experience for the application :

I have several restored bikes along with a 2006 Goldwing with a sidecar. My wife has a 2019 Suzuki DR 650 for on and off road.

Whatever. If they are that red color fibered? Or any? I always would fine sand them with a wet sandpaper 400-600 grit. Smooth them out even.
Then "HYLOMAR" Blue Hylomar! The Only! Best Stuff ever! Not the original. But as good! Comes in aerosol or tube form. Never hardens, stays pliable. Google it!
The only stuff that would seal "ELMER TRETT's top fuel Kawasaki engine's head! When we raced in the 80's & 90's. Fastest bike in the world at the time!
It's a little pricey, but worth it. HYLOMAR amazon sells it the cheapest.
I will debate anyone on this product!

Nope, but I'd love to have one.
Pics below, as you can see the carb end is in good shape and pliable. Back side is a little flat and hard, hoping I can get by with a little bead of something and put these back to use.

It looks like good stuff. Their website says it never sets. That's good, but does it become firm enough that it won't be drawn by the intake vacuum through the carb holder cracks into the engine? Thanks, Ed

You can renew/flatten the rubber boot surface with a light wet sanding on a glass plate. Use 400 - 600 grit.

I was curious about sanding them a bit but was a little concerned with the scarcity of them.
