Cant find anything but pictures.
Does anyone know how it stays upright?
I only see the 1 shock, I dont see any dampners to control roll.
Is there a forum, or post about this?

The Gyro has a 5-position mechanism actuated by parking lever. Cable moves pawl into a bell-crank inside the housing directly aft from the pivot. Mousewheels will have more specific info than me about this mechanism. The pivot is the key item that is locked to prevent rotation of scooter halves. Hope this helps some....

Here's a photo of the pivot insides showing the sector gear and pawl (top half) to follow motormike's description
There are cylindrical rubber stops (top half) and a triangular lobed piece (bottom) which gives a 'soft' stop at the rotatation limit.

I like that set-up and thank you mousewheels for the post.... 
Much more there than I had imagined with those bumpers...
