One of the problems with just replacing brushes and not turning the armature is that many times actually most of the time the new brushes aren't formed to the armature and this causes arching and that damages the armature. That is why you see so many reman starters failing. Also field coils can short to the case requiring them to be removed, re wrapped and sometimes rewound.
Pretty sure permanent magnet fields in Goldwing Starters. Provided there isn't too much wear on the commutator you can just polish it up with emery paper. If you do machine it then you need to undercut the segments again ( PIA by hand).
Slow turning is normally the starter and very rarely the solenoid contacts.
