Well i recently bought a 4 pack of these from Wal-Mart (uniball signos) remembering that i heard it numerous times before on the forums. Yeah so i'm looking for some mods that you can make with them.
I have:
4 uniball signos
2 sailor gels
1 hgg
many many RSVPs
2 pilot G2
2 papermate profiles
a color twin
many many BIC round stics
Yeah so what are some mods i can make that arent like Rsvps (like v1, MX, NX MMT, etc, etc) and thats not a Bictory. i already made a lot of those and i really want to make something new. so thanks in advance. -

Well either you're gonna make an MX-like mod or a Comssa-like mod. Double capped or one capped...
You can try a signo-tipped ballsign if you're into that exotic thing. If you spin bictories you might like a ballsign body. -

1 signo tip + 1 Profile Grip + 1 RSVP = RSVP MX
HGG + RSVP = RSVP MX
G2 Grip + Profile grip (optional 2 Signo tips) + 2 BIC's = BICtory -

KinXiom i wanted to avoid making rsvp type pens and a bictory. I want other pens. like horizontally symmetrical pens (ballsigns, bictory like etc).
Wait i was looking through the forums and it mentioned that there are a lot of Uniball signos so i'm not totally sure i got the right one. mine is
Uniball signo 207. Prevents check fraud.
yeah so is that correct? and if not then what is the most commonly used Signo? -

I have 3 of those (found 2)
the tip is either plastic or really light metal so it isnt the right kind, not heavy enough to do anyting. -

Those 207 signo tips are useless tbh they weigh like nothing get the regular un retractable signo's
AKA
The gr ip is usefull too for shoving it up MX's
as more other stuff i think a... comsaa? -

Wow, the one thing everyone always asks the tutorial for, and it's not been suggested.
Any-X = 1 RSVP + 1 HGG + 2 G2s + 2 Profiles
Tutorial: Here. -

you're not asking question about a specific mod, but about mods pertaining a specific unmodded pen, therefore it goes to regular pen discussion.

Make a signo-tipped ballsign. Do the regular modifications to a ballsign then put two signos on each side. Very nice mod. Done.

As far as anyone knows on this board, there are no known mods that uses the grip or barrel or cap of the Signo Gel grip pen. The same thing for the EX2 pens (which also have the Signo metal tip). Most of the time, the metal tip is used and that's it.

You might give this one a try... Signo 207 RSVP:
QUOTE ("how_do_u_do_that")The Uni-ball signo 207 pens are becoming increasingly popular in my area (East Coast of US). Heres a pic of it compared with the RSVP (RSVP is capped and grip taken off. Grip doesnt make a diff. though)- Take off the RSVP grip and stick it inside the cap (like the MX mod).
- Take off the 207 grip and unscrew the tip from the body.
- Stick the tip inside the front of the grip.
- Slide the grip (with tip stuck in it) onto the front of the RSVP. There is no need to glue the tip and grip onto the RSVP, but if you find it necessary to do so, you can.
The final product.
QUOTE ("how_do_u_do_that")This thing is really long (For me) and it measures about 1 or 2 millimeters from 19cm.
I think I made this too long.... probably unsuitable for most people, but I think I like it. I am getting used to it already.
COP is either right in the middle, or its a millimeter or two off a bit.
How long is the RSVP MX anyway?
Edit: I like this mod because it doesnt require any cutting, gluing, etc. Easy to make too.
Edit 2: also, you can still make a hole in the back screw cap and reverse the ink without problems. The only bad part about this pen is that you cant stick the cap onto the tip of the pen when writing.
Edit 3: People seem to be having problems taking the grip off. Dont try to rip it off. Just twist it firmly in one direction, while pulling it slowly off.
I'm not sure if a Uni-Ball Signo gel grip will work for this mod, but you can try it and see. You don't have to cut or really alter anything, so it's worth a try to see what happens. -
