Video Tutorial

Prepairing the parts.
1. Strip all the pens.
2. Use Pliers to remove the thing that holds the clip on the G2. Now just keep the remaing parts of the pen except for the the bottom part with the grip.
3. Remove the G2 grip for later.
4. Cut the area where the threads are on the RSVP off. No I don't mean sand the threads flat, I mean cut it all off, then sand it to make sure that there is no part remaining from that area.
5. Cut the tip off the RSVP leaving only 1 to 1.5cm left of plastic from where the grip was.
6. Add an insert on in the RSVP barrel.
7. Use 2 half inch pieces of tape to add a piece of insert to where the RSVP grip was. Cut off the excess.
8. Extend the Anyball Inktube by 7mm by cutting 7mm off the Bic inktube and shoving a paperclip with a layer of Clear tape inbetween them. Do NOT put tape on the out side of the inktube.
9. Take the part of the Bic Round Stic tip that holds the ink. Remove the ink and cut the tip part of it. Now you should have a little cylinder shaped piece of plastic. Sanded it so it fits tightly in the back of the previously cut RSVP. Super Glue a Signo tip to half of it. The other half goes into the
back of the RSVP, BUT NOT YET.
10. Take the Z-Grip spring and put it on the extended Anyball inktube.
Assembly
1. Put the G2 part together with the remaining part RSVP just like the RG2T
2. Place the inktube along with the Z-Grip spring in the barrel.
3. Now close the barrel with the part made in step 9.
4. Cover the G2 clicker with an RSVP cap, it should click on like they were made for each other. Also Remove the clip, round off the stub blah blah blah...
5. Cut all the lines off the G2 Grip, and put it on the barrel and flat part of the signo tip, Also put the biggest ring of an anyball grip and put it on the barrel side of the G2 Grip.
Done, It should now look like the the video.
To click the pen remove the RSVP cap first. I made it that way because I always end up clicking retractable mods while spinning.
Cons:
Not too long, its half a cm smaller than a normal comssa mod.
LOTS of materials needed.
Sanding and cutting involved.
Pros:
Looks nice
Part are extremely available...And cheap too.
Lots of color possiblites
COP=COG...almost, like a few mm off.
Retractable, yet not when spinning.
Uses Anyball ink.

This is a very interesting mod...
But you might want to put more information on how it spins, how heavy it is, etc. Also, pictures for each step would help a lot.
Otherwise, nice job! -

Really nice mod man, very innovative how you hid the clicker in the cap..but like frozenice said it would help if you took pictures for each step or maybe the more complicated steps..and also post more info like weight

My question is how does the rsvp cap stay on the g2 part? I can't seem to figure out how you get it to stay. Tape?

the rsvp cap can actually clip onto the g2 part. Fits nicely

From what I see, the rsvp cap can't push the clicker down. Right?
-
Date: Sun, Oct 12 2008 21:39:25
Yup, you have to remove the cap to use the pen.

Remove the cap to click it, then you can write. -

I like it better with the cap, that way I don't click it while spinning.
Edit: I'll be making an update for a click-able version.
Edt2: maybe not, I'm having problems with this. -

You could replace the RSVP cap with a larger sized cap such as a hyper gel cap so it wouldn't get stuck on the G2 body.

or you can use a retrable rsvp cap. It doesnt have that little notch that clips onto the g2 piece -

That won't work either because the cap will fly off when you spin it. You should probably attach a cap to the actual G2 clicker so that it will stay in place.

That won't work, the clicker has to be completely in the body for it to click, so it won't work, nothing will. unless you use something to click it, like a toothpick. -
