OK, first of all, my agenda for doing this tutorial, is to share the idea that you can make a Mod out of a BIC round stic Grip that is not too long, and not too short, and is available in the Philippines. This Mod is quite simple and cheap. I made this tutorial because someone requested for it. I don't know if someone or somebody discovered this before me but I'm not taking the credit for it.

Q & A:
Q: Why does the Supporting tubes are a bit hard to cut?
A: Just be Patient, eventually, you will be able to cut it.
Q: Why does the Supporting Ink Tubes won't fit after I have cut it?
A: Remember to cut 3cm from its rear part.
Q: Why does the Supporting Tubes I just cut won't fit?
A: Apply force and eventually, it will fit.
Q: Why bother call the other mod BICtory v2? You just added Grips.
A: I call it BICtory v2, to differentiate the BICtory v1's dimensions. Not because it is called v2, it has a LARGE difference from v1. I just called it v2 to make a clear difference between the two mods.
