We all disagree on what to call "mudguards" and "tappets" so we usually identify things by their part number.
This doesn't appear to be listed as a separate part. Its likely Yamaha bought the starter motor entire from an external supplier.
See here: https://www.partzilla.com/catalog/yamaha/motorcycle/1975/xs650b/starting-motor-tx650a-xs650b-c
but i'd suggest he looks for a starter motor "for spares and repairs" or buys a known good one.
Hope this helps

Pole shoes

Let's do this!
I have a starter from my 77 that worked when I tried it out 5 years ago. My battery wasnt up for the task after 2-3 attempts so i kicked it about a zillion times until it came to life. I could take it in to Autozone and have them test it. I assume the starter didnt change much over the years. It's not going back in, so I'd be happy to let go of it if you need? Shipping + $20?
I can't for the life of me understand why he needs pole shoes. I rebuilt hundreds of gens and starters and never saw a pole shoe that needed replaced. Had to file and sand a few where the coils had shorted to them. I did replace a lot of the coils. Wonder if that what he really means he needs. If he does need shoes best thing to do is buy a used starter. If he needs coils same thing get another starter.

My father in law was changing a water pump on his truck. It took him a few hours to remove it. Then went right back to work installing it. He's not mechanically inclined so he forgot how it went back together. It cost him twice as much for him to tow it to Ford and have them put it back together. I'm more of a I've plugged every wiring plug on the car but I cant seem to find the last one kinda guy.
Yep. Couldn't recall the name, but that's it.
Like hens' teeth if you're looking for one, but a complete-but-gubbed starter will yield them.
That's Mandy, the workshop secretary.
That has to be the reason.I can. I've seen the threads stripped out .
Some motorcycle starters have pole shoes that are glued to the case.
