Have always thought that I would mount a set of brass handles on that style of dustcover, if I had one, to reduce the risk of bumping into anything when handling. |
The sheer size of it can be a pain at times and handles could make sense and it takes up quite a bit of space.

I had the same challenge and decided to make my own platform, $17 and 20 minutes later I had my answer. If fits perfectly and looks great IMO. You could do the same. I used the Gingko Audio Cloud 11 isolation base for my Scoutmaster, where the dust cover fits on top of the platform. It worked very well and allowed you to tune the sound by adding or removing the balls. I now do that using tuning bullets that came with my speaker and IC cables.
