I’m looking for a small triangular bag that will fit in this triangle of space. There are plenty of attachment points available to the frame tubing and the weight can sit on the passenger foot board.

The plan is to put tools and other heavy items that are infrequently accessed in there. Low slung weight and using unused space on cross country rides.

Has anyone does this before or have recommendations?

I have not come across that idea here but I have seen plenty of triangular bags for the rear part of the frame fitted to the R18 Pure, which you probably can adapt. Another idea is to get them custom made, I don’t believe it would be expensive.
You are thinking of mounting the back on the outside of the plastic cover, right?
Pictures attached that just found on google.

Something like that. A simple loop strap around the frame in a few spots will hold it firmly to the side of the bike. The weight will rest on the passenger footboard.

I’ll keep looking and taking some measurements. I’ll update with what I find.
