Well I noticed that a regular inverted kt was just way too short for me so I fooled around and got a mod that is longer and in my opinion, more aesthetically appealing.
This is not a new mod, just a modified version of an inverted kt.

... this actually looks really nice. Good use of signo broad caps ^^
In fact, this spins exactly the same as an EX2. In fact, same length, same grip placeage, and almost cap length and spinning space, just this uses easier to get parts.
btw, The bottom KT is hella sexy -

oh ho ho ho, this looks fucking awesome.
And yeah, great use for getting rid of Broad caps
The only concern is the strength (cant find the word) of the caps, and how prone they are to breaking.
Nonetheless, this looks awesome -

Glad everyone likes it
About the breaking. Do you mean the strength with which they stay on the body? Because with enough tape, they should be stable.
If I were to see cracks in the mod caps, I would expect them at the ends that are covered with electrical tape since there is already some tightness and tension there due to the g2 grips and tips pushing outward on the cap. Not sure though so just spin on carpet -
