2$ fix for cracked cb carb boots

isopropyl alcohol will make that job much easier and when dry doesn't leave any residual lube that could cause future problems in certain applications. i keep a spray bottle with isopropyl handy for some seal installations, weather sealings, etc. will also work to "seat" standard tire beads- tubeless will require tire lube (auto store). hope you will find this helpful,allan

Personally ... I don't like Isopropyl because it reacts with the plasticizer component of rubber products and causes premature hardening and cracking.

My favorite ... a man's best friend ... WINDEX :)

... and it cleans up nicely. Yes there's some alcohol in it, but the water in the stuff dilutes it.

I've been using it to get all my new rubber bits on (foot pegs, shifter, kicker, etc.)
