Default Ring gap for 95ci

Hi guys,
I'm building a 95ci for my 06 FXDBI. My cylinders are bored now and I'm preparing the SE high compression pistons.

I have 0,0118 for the compression rings, I think it's not enough.

Any advice?

.004-.005" per inch of bore size always a good bet.
For instance....3.875"=.0155" to.0193".
