I would expect their flatland frame, the Signal, to have them; other than that, though, no. At least until they start using Guiri tabs on their frames.

Removable gyro tabs, fixed to the headtube by a pair of small allen screws. They're on all the Fly frames, which are distributed in the US by System Cycle, which is also DK's distributor.

Aside from their brakes, Guiri tabs are Fly's only real worthwhile contribution thus far to BMX, in my opinion. Although, assuming that they'll actually work (unlike the similar tubes that Specialized made a few years back), the Cobra tubes might actually turn out to be alright.

No, they're made by Fly. More likely than not, his Legacy just has regular, pressed in gyro tabs. There's no real need for Guiri tabs on frames with regular headtubes; you do, however, need them on frames with hiddensets because you can't press the upper cup in over the gyro plate like on a normal headtube, and it's rather pointless to make a flexy clamp setup like Kink did.

i gotcha...sooooo
guiri tabs = internal headsets
press on tabs = everthing else

No, I'm saying that you don't need Guiri tabs on frames with headsets that are pressed on, but you do need them for frames with hiddensets.

the link is to a gyro bottom plate for internal headsets

And, as I mentioned before, it's flexy. And it only works on some frames (although it will work on any Kink frame with a hiddenset).
