I put narrow slicks on my 92 950, and added trekking bars, and am quite happy with it. I used Dirt Research bars so I could keep the same geometry without messing with the stem. As you know, the front brake cable goes through the stem, so replacing it complicates the switch significantly. The DR bars cost me $20 delivered (ebay). I would have used the Nashbar Trekking bars, but they would have pretty much required a new stem, costing more, and messing up the brake cable arrangement.
I used the Nashbar 26 x 1.25 slick tires, they put them on sale a lot. I like the brakes on the 950, so did not want to lose them. Better to stick with the stock wheels in my opinion.
I completed this upgrade for less than $60.
