Have you got a standard loom on it fella?
I'd have a look into it for you but I'm away all weekend playing at racing my zook, so time short at the moment.
Depends how desperate you are.

Prolly a short to ground somewhere between the regulator and the battery.. (have a look at the wiring diagram, and check this wiring and the fuse box itself.. so isolate this bit of wiring -disconnect from the battery and regulator- and check with the multimeter if there's an open circuit to ground..) Blown regulators usually only fry the incoming wires from the alternator (and the alternator itself) but not the 12V output wire.. (battery does suffer though..) So my guess is that the rec/reg-unit would still be okay.. But measure the output -after fixing the short- anyway to make sure..
