Seems like a bit of a PITA, I dont know that I would call it "easily done". Although, I suppose it is just the two bag bracket bolts removed from the subframe and the two smaller bolts from the rear pegs?

Todd,
You're right about moving the can up being a PITA.  You have to remove 
the bolts from the rear peg hanger and change the bracket, but to remove 
the bag bracket you have to pull the entire tail plastic (2 torx bolts, 
4 standard bolts for the grab rail) or have really small 
fingers/wrenches.  So if you want the factory bags, you may as well 
leave it down.  I don't know about fitting on the Two Bros. cans, but I 
have seen a C2 (the smallest one) on a Sprint with the factory bags.
