Default CB antennas

I'm upgrading to a 17 Ultra dealer will add CB. I know....I know some people don't use cb's. For those that have cb's on newer models do I need the whip antenna or how is the inside fairing cb antenna? I dont like the look of the whip antennas. Speaking of whip antennas can I put a stubby antenna on for the radio or is the whip needed for the infotainment to work properly? Thanks for any help

This works great for the radio, looks great.

I have the HD factory radio and CB antenna as they are a pretty close match on my 20 Road Glide Limited.
