Would one mounting over the rear triangle, such as here, be an option?

Thanks, that looks like it may work.

I checked that out and found a nicer one here on Amazon. I just installed it and it fits and works perfectly.

Glad to hear that! I hope it will serve you well. Still, let me mention the benefits of the other one relevant when you subject a bike to harsher conditions. Though less esthetically pleasing, it has some shock absorption and it has adjustable length. The latter features can be useful when you load the bike, swap rear tire width and when you park on uneven ground.
