Several years ago when I had my first original FS. It had a canister
style BRS mounted below the fuselage on the right hand side pointing
aft and a bit to the right. The harness path to the top of the cage
was not a problem.

Same here - where ever you put them they go --> back and
then up over your head anyway. At least that's what I'm told.
The BRS people have several approved places to install them
for Kolbs.

Perfect timing. I just ripped off the side fabric to fix a broken tube. Here is where my chute is mounted.

It will fit underneath the boom tube and leave room for gas tanks
or storage on top. But ...I know that everybody does it different.
Both ways will work, and if you're not in a hanger, then you need to
protect the BRS from the elements and yours does it better than mine.
However - you would not believe what these systems can withstand
and still work. Like being 6 years old and crashed in a lake & under
water for over 24 hours - hauled out and (what the hell) fired off!
Guess what - it still worked like a charm.
