First thing I'd be checking is the regulator. It's probably been degraded from the corroded ground or may have even taken in some water!
If it were me, I'd just get the regulator, put it on and be done with it - I don't think anything else is likely gone, but of course I can't see the condition of anything so that's a call you'll have to make.
Once the regulator is in, the battery will start charging properly again, and all should be well in the bike's universe.
If you know there are other corroded items etc. you may want to take care of them before they become an issue.
In short, we won't really know if there are other issues til that regulator is in.

You re good !!
the regulator centre pin ( feeding one of the yellow wires) had no resistance.
The regulator looks goosed!!
When we get a replacement reg should it be safe to ride the bike or could something else blow with it when I connect it?
If I dissconnect the reg can he ride the bike to a garage without damaging other components?
I know his battery wont be charging so he cant turn it off but I dont want to take anymore responsibility if this doesnt do the job and get him to a certified bike mechanic.
Thanks matt
I think he has solved the problem but I wont know till I buy and fit the regulator.
IF hes right -top marks !!!
Thanks again
Matt
