    ....beleive me making one that writes is easy...have to make a double sided one yet though...

    all you need to do is make a normal ballsign mod but without removing the inktube and by removing the back plug...I have my ballsign mod like this so it writes in white ink biggrin.gif ...and the balance is pretty much in the middle..

    with a sharpwriter, you can make a ballsign twist. i use the mod in class and i can write with it cause its mp tongue.gif

    you can just leave the ink tube in it but it messes up the weight.

    buy 2 ballsigns, use both to half ink, cut off half of both inktubes, remove the backplug of 1 ballsign, stick the 2 inktubes in (including the whitish shit) put ur caps and grips and whatever (i think this works)

    The back plug end of the body does not have a tapered end that would support the other ink tube. You would have to merge two ballsign bodies together somehow if you really wanted a nicely balanced write-able ballsign mod..... happy.gif

    Well if you want a a decent writable Ballsign. I recommend Making my Extended Ballsign. On the small end take a Bic Round Stic Grip and take the front part off of it and push it into the ballsign. Then just put in your insert, take a tiny tiny screw or just stuff a little wad of paper into the wide end and boom...you have a writable, balanced ballsign:)

    hey all, semi new spinner here...anyways was lookin through this thread and the ballsign mod caught my eye...is there any other grips from pilot that will fit just like the supergrip? i been trying to find a store down here in hawaii that sells them but no luck so far =[

    any advice would be greatly appreciated


    The G2 Grip is the same as the Supergrip Just not Translucent

    haha. why not have 2 ballsigns, use them such that one has more ink than the other, wrap teflon tape around the longer 1, cut the barrels of the 2 ballsigns evenly, and stick them together, and put ur caps and stuff.

    You need to remember the barrels have a slant to them. If you did that it'll be a very very awkward feeling pen. It'd be like spinning a nawed on pencil that's bent. The other part of it is that you cant reverse the ballsign ink without stretching the barrel.

    what do you mean by have a slant to them?

    The barrel isn't straight. it has a mild upward slant from the back plug.

    as in i'm saying cut the 2 ballsigns somewhere in the middle depending on your length preference, if the slant is at the backplug joint then there shouldn't be a problem what

    Thats the POINT, no matter where you cut it..it won't be an even length PEN. THE ENTIRE PEN IS A SLANT. It slants from back all the way to the front.

    guys...I made a mistake with the description I put...you judt double cap it and grip it and it can write like yeah...balance i in the center smile.gif...well I lift th back plug a little and put the cap on till the cap reaches the tip of the inktube...well it looks like it smile.gif ....it's what I do to my ballsign...

    Guys, listen to the man. Easiest possible way to make a writable Ballsign, with only a slight change in COG. You don't need all those fancy clicking/twisting mechanisms. Take of the cap, boom, you can write.

    Don't make it harder for yourselves. -_-;

    uh...Rekkuuzan he said ballsign mod not just ballsign....

    well If you follow my advice which is
    lift the back plug 1-2 mm ....put on a second cap until it reaches the end of the ink tube...
    it'll be able to write with nothing wrong in the balance...well at least mine has no problems..

    just keep the inktube, and on the other end, use 2 dr. grips cuz they're heavier than super grips.
    if they keep sliding off wrap some transparent tape around one cap to thicken it
    only bad thing is that one cap isn't symetrical
