A bit of creativity and you can get the antenna to work w a streetglide facia on a UC..I just did this on my 09 and had to cut and weld the antenna brackets (included in the detachable tp kit) to make them shorter...works like a charm.
I looked at the filler panels before deciding on the sg rear fender/filler... glad I did as the bike looks great. I dont miss the bag rais at all, but I still have the "crash" bars for some protection. This is a pic from when I added the fender earlier in the year..

If you want to mount a CB antenna on an SG, check-out the HD kit, part no. 76415-06. I bought this to install a CB antenna on my '04 EG that has the Street Glide facia. The installation on your '08 would be the same. PM Dawg or stop by your dealership and have them print out the installation instructions and parts list. I mention this because the kit includes a CB antenna cable that you probably would not need since your Ultra already has the antenna cable on it.
Using this kit, the CB antenna uses the right side hole in the SG facia; the left side would use the AM/FM antenna.
As for adding the SG facia to your '08 rear fender, you can do it, but there will be holes visible at the bottom that are there for your fender tip light. Some guys have used a license plate to cover the holes. Or, as I did, buy a replacement fender.
If you use the HD two-up detachable tour pak rack, the holes in the SG facia are used by HD's mounting hardware for the detachable rack; and won't accommodate the mounting hardware and antennas.
You can probably find a solution to the CB antenna location if you want the SG facia and detachable tour pak. One solution is to buy the Milwaukee Bagger Tour Pak detachable rack because it locates the TP in the two-up position, but uses the forward detachable mounting hardware HD sells for mounting a passenger backrest or the solo detachable TP rack, and not the two-up detachable TP mounting hardware. I bought one of the MB racks because I don't like the chrome hoops of the two-up hardware sticking out of the SG facia.
Good luck with your research. Try the search function for more information. There's plenty here about the SG facia change, Milwaukee Bagger TP rack, etc.

i have an 08 Ultra and also wanted the filler bag inserts. talked to 10 dealers and HD tech line and got some many different answers. I do not /did not want the ones with slots as they are for the nastalic(?) rails only. took measurements off of a friends road king custom and then took a chance and ordered the color inserts and waited several weeks. worked perfect and it took a few minutes to install. glad i did it even though most people told me i needed the slot version. That will not work or look good. hope this helps. ted
Check this link for some pics of the unslotted strips on a 08 Ultra.
