Not that it matters but Im not using a jackery branded solar panel. Went with a 3rd party from amazon and all works good. Your solution is good but a totally different setup vs a small portbale / solar rechargeable unit. I even take this on my motorcycle camping trips.
Jackery portable battery bank or inverter?

I have a Jackary 500, and a 120w (non-jackary) panel, only really use it to run a camp fridge and small device charges. When I use it, I always have the fridge plugged into the DC out, and either the solar panel or the vehicle on the DC in (when driving). My fridge will keep food frozen for 3+ days in the Florida heat, and I can keep my battery fans/lanterns as well as phones and speakers all charged. We have also used the setup during power outages, hurricane emergencies, baseball tournaments, etc.
I did install switched 12v outlets in both the Jeeps to charge the Jackary.

What about a jump start battery?
Most have 12v, usb, and laptop power ports.

I have one of those also.
Its not showing Amp hours tho iirc
Not meant as a Solar charged unit tho without a proper charge controller, just as a burst power delivery unit charged by 120vac
You might be hauling to much stuff on your bike.

There are many brands that to it as well or better than Jackery for less money. Go for one with newer LifePO4 batteries, safer then lithium ion and better charge/discharge characteristics.

Nobody uses AGM as "house" batteries anymore. The prices of LiFePO4 batteries have come way down, the size and weight per amp hour is substantially less than FLA or AGM, and one can use all of the battery capacity rather than just 50%.
