Default Starter motor all rusted on inside?

I have a 94 FLSTC had starter making a noise, so I pulled it last night to find it was rusted. I mean everything was brush plate,coils and armature. My question is this common? I,ve already ordered a new one, just wondering.

No, this is not a common problem. Do you have a crack in the case or anything like that where water might be able to get in?
