Default what does it take to put a 21" wheel on my electra glide?

i've seen a bunch of bikes like mine with 21" and bigger wheels, i have a extra 21" rim from my night train and i was wondering what all i need to do to put it on? i have noticed that on the soft tail there is only one brake assy. and after looking at the rim it looks like it only bolts on one side unless it is a cover., any and all help will be greatly appreciated.

I'm no expert......AT ALL, but I'm not sure that's possible because of hub and fork width, you'd probably spend more money trying to retro-fit a skinny wide glide wheel in there, than buying a 21" made for baggers. Not to mention the skinny wheel may not be so stable. My 21" front is 3.5" wide, just like my stock 18" front was...... Rides like a dream.
