There is/was a guy that did this on his bellypan and reported that it seemed to work.
With all the discussion on crosswinds on motorcycle aero fairings, screen seems to be a good idea to try since it would allow the wind to flow through the fairing, yet retain most of the tapered wake.
As far as using it for a kammback, i would love to see it tested, but i doubt it would be effective unless the mesh was super tight, since unlike the sides of a motorcycle or the underside of a car ( relatively flat in shape ) there is a huge open area that has a massive amount of force from the vortexes back there pulling the air downward.
The screen would allow the air to be pulled downward, thereby making itself useless.
If you have some extra screen just laying around i think a lot of us here would like to see it tested - just for curiosity !
