Folding Bikes - Attaching seat bag to I-Beam seat

Bikeforums.net is a forum about nothing but bikes. Our community can help you find information about hard-to-find and localized information like bicycle tours, specialties like where in your area to have your recumbent bike serviced, or what are the best bicycle tires and seats for the activities you use your bike for.
I noticed the I-Beam seat for my Mu SL doesn't have the bars where you can attach a seat post bag. Am I just out of luck or is there some other way to do this?
There are bags but the selection is limited.
I just upgraded to a conventional rail seatpost
CE Do you happen to remember which brands worked?
I used zip ties to attach a standard bag to the I-beam saddle. It works fine.

Check to see if your SDG saddle has the little bracket for the Topeak Quick-Click system. Some saddles seem to come with it already there, and some don't. You can buy it from SDG for $2.00 (email customer service). The following link shows the clip.

You can then use one of the Topeak Quick-Clip seat bags, like this one:

Other than these, you'll have to rig up something else, as Loch did.

Nice. I didn't know you could "upgrade" an SDG saddle that didn't have the attachment thingie (good to know for the wife's '05 SpeedPro).
