Default Changing sprockets on a 1989 flhtc

Trying to find out which sprockets I need to change on my 89 flhtc bagger. Looking to cruise at lower rpm on highway. Have a new 96" moter put in recently with a .550 cam. Dont know how many teeth are on the stock sprockets front & rear. Trying to figure out the right combination to get to bring the R's down at 10-20mph over highway posted limits. Any help appreciated. I know someone said down 2 on 1 & up one on the other but with out knowing how many teeth are on stock, cant get without removal.
