Seat bags for suspension posts?

Hello All:
I have recently switched to a Kinekt suspension seatpost on my road bike. The configuration doesn't allow me to attach my seat bag to the post, only to the seat rails. That works okay but I'm wondering if there is a seat bag that attaches only the rails.
Those of you who use suspension posts, what seat bag to you use? I like fairly small bags that hold 2 tubes and 2 CO2's.
Cheers,
Jim

Does a suspension post prevent flats? That would be great!

Prologo saddles have mounts where you can attach saddle bags to. You might have to buy the adapter clip buts it’s only a few bucks.

Posted a few times about this already. But it really is a great seat bag.

Specialized Stormproof (can be used without the clip if you have a non-spec saddle, comes with a strap)

Happened to try an old suntour suspension post and loved it. Reduced numbness! Plus, once you get used to the movement it feels weird to ride a rigid post.

Topeak bags have a seat rail clip that works well.
