Round off top, bottom and front edges.

Curving it to the inside will likely help - if not with the flutter, then with side-wind issues.

Good Eye. The top and bottom edges are too knife edged. Any slight bending will make a sharp bite into the air with no give over the top and bottom.

And the tail may get too narrow, too soon, to avoid separation. It might be better to use a wider tail angle and then truncate the length where you want it to keep from getting too long to park. 11 degrees per side for 22* total included? You will gain some useful luggage space by making it with a wider angle. Craig Vetter really did a nice job in designing his tail with generous rounding of the top and bottom.

That literally sucks,
You've probably seen windscreens and fairings with holes - they relieve pressure by letting some air into the "vacuum" - or spoilers atop windscreens.

My Honda CBR250R scoops air with the fairing and sends it up the inside of the wind screen past the top triple clamp. Many newer bikes such as the new Ninja650 feature a wind screen that is spaced off of the cowl to take air up the outside and the inside surfaces of the screen. It is also a nice design feature as it makes the screen easily adjustable for height.
