the 96 is supposed to not crack the frame but they do it too, check around the main tubes and smaller bracing tubes at the steering head.
check the head bolts they should be gold colored, the silver ones have a habit of breaking.
the 944 kit and the flat slides you would have done eventually, the flat slides if set up well will start reliably and make the bike more fuel efficient and run better.
check the swingarm at the pinch bolts at the pivot, they have been known to crack there also.
If you decide to buy it, change the cam belts for peace of mind and every 10k miles or 2 years after that. Have it serviced (valves adjusted) by someone that knows what they are doing, then learn how to do it yourself afterwards.
There is a good support group here, someone will be able to answer your questions.
