Default Finally Received Hard Bags

I bought my '06 DL650 in late February and ordered (and paid for) the Suzuki three piece hard luggage set at the time. The dealer said it should be in by late April...I got all the brackets and the top case but no side cases. They said they should be in by the end of May..then they didn't know...then a shipment was in transit on the ocean and should be in by mid-June. I have a long trip planned for late July and I had to have some luggage so I spoke with the sales mgr. at the dealer. He assured me that they would give me a full refund even for the brackets and top case which had been installed and they would get me a set of Givi or whatever else I wanted. He even offered to loan me a large set of Joe Rocket soft bags. Well the side bags finally came in today and snapped right into place. I'm glad I waited for the Suzuki bags because of the color match (red) and they do look like quality luggage. By the way, the dealer gave me a $100 gift card for being so patient which I thought was fair.
