I suspect it might be better to grab a cigarette lighter style usb plug and grab the innards out of it and wire it to the ignition with a waterproof in-line switch.
I think the problem with the 7805 regulator is wasting 7V of energy through heat. Given the power of a motorcycle battery with an alarm and heated grips on it and I think that is a bad thing.
