    Hello guys, I searched "Pilot V1" in the search box but can't find a mod like that, so I decided to make one. Ok this mod is call "Pilot V1" because of what I do to it(Basically the same thing as RSVP V1). Here's the name of the pen "The BETTER Ball Point - Fine Point" That's the name on the Pilot Pen official site. And the color of the pen in this mod is Blue(I know your not blind, but some idiots are).

    Steps :

    1)Screw off the backcap, take off the ink and the front cap.
    2)Make a hole on the backcap.
    3)Make sure the backcap hole is big enough for the ink to reverse and go through.
    4)Screw the backcap back on(With the ink reversed, of course).
    5)Lastly, just place the front cap on the back.

    And some people might need to get use to the kind of barrel this pen has. And, this is optional, you can take the clip off at the front cap.

    How it looks like :

    Can you compare the length, thickness (of barrel), and weight
    of this pen to others.

    it looks like it'd have about the same weight as a bictory and probably the around the same barrel size.

    Don't know about the weight but as for the thickness it's about 1.9CM from the side view, and 0.5cm width on each face. And the length is about 16CM. And yes, it's about somewhat the same as BICtory.

    OUCH !!!
    16cm, That's mad short for my taste.
    How bout throwing another cap on the front and
    pretty much making it like the bictory? Just to add length
    and weight (not that it may need it).

    Adding another cap to the front will make the weight pretty much shift to the front. But adding a grip to to the back of the frontcap will make the pen more balance and longer. And the kind of grips I recommend are those that are a bit harder than normal, harder grips are actually heavier so they can make the pen more balance and you can do infinities with it.

    i agree with adding grips it adds weight but not too much, and it can make the pen longer

    Has anyone tried this mod yet? Plenty of "V1s" have been made besides this. They are all well and good if the person using it likes it. No need to get worked up over a mod until you try it yourself.

    agreed. thanks for deleteing our posts.



    So about the pen, i think that pen is heavier than BICtory.
