So here it is; the G2 Signo Extended.
Name of Pen Modification: G2 Signo Extended
Center of Gravity: COP
Length: 23.5 cm
Weight : A little heavier than an RSVP MX.
Style: Retractable, Single Sided, Writable
Materials
http://img443.imageshack.us/img443/1130/materialsvm7.jpg- Pilot G2
- Uniball Signo 207 (Inktube)*
- BIC Round Stic (Barrel)**
- Pentel RSVP (Grip)
*Pilot G2 inktube works as well, just remove the backplug.
**I used an Ultra Round Stic Grip, works just the same.
Procedure
1. Disassemble the Pilot G2.

2. Put the front of the G2 inktube into the back of the Signo/G2 inktube.

3. Cut 7 mm* off the Round Stic Grip barrel, so that it's 9.2 cm long (can be shorter). If a Round Stic barrel is used, cut 3 cm off instead.

4. Push the Round Stic Grip barrel into the upper part of the G2 barrel as far as it will go. It should go up to the top of the spiral part that screws into the other part. It should be about 17 cm long.

5. Put the two inktubes into the just connected barrel.

6. Take the RSVP grip and put it on the back of the lower G2 barrel.

hmm might want to adjust the length a little
but otherwise it doesn't look too bad -

A ) Using four pens, for one mod seems excessive, but that's just me
B ) Like Kuma said, the different barrel thinknesses from the Bic Stick to the G2 would feel extremely akward for the spinner
Besides these two things, it seems like a good American Mod, easy for any spinner that doesn't have access to Japanese or European Pens. -

Not having a uniform body is not good. The connection at the g2 and bic part may cause problems when spinning. Overall mod looks sloppy and too long. Shorten it down and find a better body than a bic and it would be much better
However I do applaud you for making a good tutorial -

HEY i had this idea for my g2 extended mod

except you used a g2 barrel instead of a bic, so the transition was smoother

Hmm, did I? If I did, sorry about that, and anyways, I'm going to update soon with a few improvements that address some concerns over the length and the thickness transition. Here's a picture:

I removed the Signo inktube, shortened the Round Stic barrel by A LOT, and added a pencil chunk behind the G2 inktube so it can still retract. As you can see, the mod is now around 17 cm. Although I must say, it looks really ugly right now . I'll see if I can find an alternative to the pencil, or make an insert for it.
And here's a comparison shot with an RSVP MX:

@guitarlord933: This isn't a copy of yours. Your's is using a signo retractable, while his uses a G2. It's making better use of the pens, and also retains the G2 ink, which is good.
@AznMlex121: Break the clip of the G2 off, and it may look better. How is the COG on the shortened version? The gaps inbetween the grips may be alittle annonying, but what can you do? -

@ChinesePandaMan8: Well, the gap between the two grips is actually a raised ring on the lower part of the G2. And I don't want to break the clip because I don't know anywhere to buy more, as I just found this one
. Also, the COG is again in the center, this time marked by a gap between the edge of the upper G2 barrel and the RSVP grip.
EDIT: Just to let you all know, I can't really attest to how well it spins, as I can only do Fundamentals. But I can say it does those well . -

guitarlord, please understand that using the same pens is NOT copying
for example, Kam and the RSVP MX and Mr. LSC with the RSVP NX MMT also including all the other RSVP mods -
