    this clear BICtory is 19cm.(using G1 tips)
    here goes the tutorial....



    materials:
    -a hgg barrel
    -2 tips (i use pilot g1 tip but you can use any others)
    -two bic caps
    -2 grips (i like my pilot 2020 shaker grip but u can use anyball or anything u like)
    -a saw



    1. first take off all the parts on the hgg...even the back plug should also be removed.
    2. saw the hgg until the barrel part is 1.7cm. its okay to have ugly cuttings, the bic cap will cover it.(see picture)
    3. put a insert in it.
    4. then, wrap clear tape to the plug part. wrap it till it can hold the bic cap tightly when the bic cap is put on.
    5. put those bic caps on both sides. ( in the picture one of the caps is half black half white, its because malaysia dont have black bic caps, so i paint them black with arcylic)
    6. tape tips onto the bic caps. this prevent tips falling off.
    7. slide the grip into the cap.
    8. FINISHED!!!! happy.gif

    EDIT: thx kyosuke ur insert suits my clear bictory! =)

    There is bic round stics... I found them at pageone at Vivocity but they are in packs of 10 i think... Didnt see the price though...

    EDIT: I think there is bic round stic grip too, cuz that store sells many bic pens...

    I think that the biggest plus from this mod compared to the regular bictory is the wider barrel. The width is of course all preference so it varies from person to person, but for me I like this mod's barrel better because it's wider =].

    Yay! finally i can make mod with the bic caps. I've used the bic tips parts to make other mods so i left some caps and barrels, don't know what to make with them. happy.gif BTW, i got very limited HGG since i can only get them from trade. So the mod is balanced, COG=COP?

    Just made one of these with Signo tips. I could do with lighter-weight tips on the ends since I don't like it when the ends of the pen has a large weight difference to the middle. Feels funky. One thing is that the back plug portion of the HGG body is really small so you have to get the tape wrapped really tight and get the BIC cap on tight. I used a crappier knock-off pen and cracked a cap. A Real BIC Round Stic may hold up better, but just a precaution to not over-wrap the back plug area and put too much stress on the cap. Actually, if you can find permanent, double-sided tape, you could get a better hold much easier. I ran out a while ago and haven't cared to buy any more.

    Anyway, it spins pretty well. I could do with a lighter tip than the Signo, or possibly no tip at all and just add a bit more weight inside the caps or something.

    @cyshing: the COG is pretty close to the COP, mine is a bit off.

    hey nice mod i'm gonna try this one

    question...COG=COP?

  16. sketching
    Date: Fri, May 9 2008 01:57:21

    On mine, the COG is about 0.5cm off the COP, it shouldn't take much to shift the COG over.

  17. melvenorc12
    Date: Fri, May 9 2008 03:21:23

    My COG is in the COP exactly, maybe it's because I didn't remove the back plug and just put the insert through the hole cut on the front?

    hmmmm

    i wouldn't necessarily call this a clear BICtory because the barrel is thicker than a bic round stic barrel

    but it looks very nayce.

    Pics or it didn't happen. and not just frosted barrel you said clear. Anyways the clear barrel bictory looks nice I'll probably end up making one when I get some hgg's in from trade hopefully here pretty soon.

    Well, the grips make it pretty. The only thing thats Bic about it is the caps...

  39. loonwern93
    Date: Sat, Jun 21 2008 05:28:19

    lol, the main objective of this mod is to make a BICtory clear, so it uses hgg barrel.
    why dont u say that a clear comssa uses only comssa caps?
