    this is my first pen mod and tutorial, BGTS which stands for Bic Grip Tip Stic (it rhymes!!! lol). I don't have a camera so there will be no pictures. sry for that. Here are some stats(i guess thats what i should call them) for my new pen:

    length: 20-21 cm
    COG= approximately COP
    single-sided
    weight: rsvp mxboth sides have metal tips


    materials:
    1. bic round stic x1
    2. bic round stic grip x1
    3. piolt g2 grip x1
    4. zebra telescopic tip(spare from zt by k4s) x1
    5. signo tip x1
    6. another grip x1 (such as anyball)


    1 remove the clips from the bic caps
    2 use scissors/saw/knife to cut off the very tip of a bic cap
    3 wrap some tape around the threaded part of the telescopic tip nad stick it in the bic cap you just cut
    4 stick approximately seven rings of and anyball/profile grip over the cap and tip you just made.
    5 take the bic round stick inktube and cut the end as if you were making a bictory.
    6 put the inktube back in the bic round stic barrel.
    7 put the cap with the telescopic tip and grip back on the tip of the bic round stic (tongue twister, lol).
    8 remove the back plug on the bic barrel you just partially assembled.
    9 take the front section of the of the bic round stic grip and remove the inktube, keep the section with the grip.
    10 plug the inkless section of the bic round stic grip onto the area on the bic round stic where the back plug used to go.
    11 jam the signo tip into the g2 grip with the point sticking out
    12 put the g2 grip with the point of the signo tip sticking out onto the section of bic round stic grip. it should stay firmly, if not, put some tape under it.

    Now you've just completed a BGTS!!!! hope you enjoy!!! also, comments are welcome, since i'm a n00b and this is my first time posting something. Happy Spinning!!! laugh.gif

    sounds... ok
    but u should really not post a tut without any pictures
    and u should have posted a picture in the "show off ur pens" first to see if anyone wants a tut

    He says he didn't have a camera. That's why there are no pics for this tutorial.

    i know that
    i'm just saying that he should see if anyone even wants a tut
    maybe read the guidelines, the part that says:

    "Before Making Any Modification Tutorial, Please Post the Pen in the Show Off Your Pens Thread"
    &
    "If The Community Has an Interest in the Pen, A Tutorial Can Be Made"

    My suggestion
    -Think a name for your mod then post
    -Borrow a Camera or something

    other than that, good tutorial

    I think I can visualize it. :]
    Good way to make use of the leftover tip from the ZT!

    well, since i realized the ZT tip was metal, i tried it to a couple uses. such as the RSVP MX(worked not so well) and then this, which, in my opinion works quite well
