So, being able to do a before and after would be pricey and pretty much unnecessary except for comparison

True, but it's the only way to know if you have made improvements or not.
You would have needed to create a baseline with the bike before you started your mods, then bring it back again after it was completed.
If you like it - run it, but even it situations where the factory has designed a full ram-air system (that even runs directly through the steering head) the gains are not outstanding until speeds are close to maximum. Even then, something like 5 additional HP doesn't gain you much (compared to reducing drag).
