That would be quite something, for the MoCo to step up and help this guy out.
I think there's something about this in the Owner's Manual "CAUTION: Having your motorcycle swept into the ocean to bob along for thousands of miles until it washes up in Canada may void your warranty".

just to let you all know that the owner was found today,he wants to say thankyou to the person that found it but he dosen't know his name or address and is alittle shocked, sad thing is he not only lost his harley but lost his whole family of three and he is now living in sheltered accommodation.
Im not sure if he has asked for his bike or not..

If I was HDMC, I'd send the guy a brand new scoot, 100% paid for (shipping, licensing, etc other fees), and have the original set as a monument to those lost and those who survived, in Miyagi Prefecture; if the owner consented...
Otherwise, I'd offer to rebuild it to his specs (customs, add-ons, paint, etc. all included)...
Also, I may offer to tenifer-coat the frame (tenifer being literally bulletproof anti-corrosion material)...

Stage II
Find the owner would be the Honorable thing to do but to restore it AND return it to it's owner. I'm quite sure they lost more than their Harley. Just keep Obama put of it or he'd claim credit for it's recovery.

I'd give him a couple of hundred. It's been in sea water. It's pretty fu<ked.
Let a rube pay out the nose for a corroding bike.

That would be Deely HD Canada so it would cost twice as much plus PST and GST. LOL
