Excellent info Vernon. I did know there were "Super Wood Bosses" and I knew their displacement, but I didn't know they were the last 028 chronologically. I also knew that the last ones had the side tensioners, but I didn't realize they had a see through gas tank.The photo that you refer to, Dave, is very interesting because that badge is the rarest and most unusual of 028 Super badges. For most of the life cycle of the Super with the 51cc engine, it was simply badged as "028 Super" with no mention of "Wood Boss." Then in the Super's last year or two of production (whenever that was) the badge read "Super Wood Boss" with the word "super" in orange. Also very interesting is that this last run of 028 Supers featured the first side chain tensioner ever available on the 028 and a see-through gas tank. This development seems already to point to the evolution of the 028 into the 026.
Whats also semi interesting and parallel...is I've seen 024 supers with both front and side tensioners. Wonder if the later side tensioning 024 supers came out roughly about the same time as the 028 "Super Wood Boss".
