Low gear ratio

I´m troubled by the Nighthawk´s low gear ratio. At 35mph I´m already shifting into 5th gear. For this reason I´ve never taken my bike onto the freeway. I´m considering either a smaller primary sprocket (1 to 2 teeth reduction) or a larger secondary sprocket. Has anyone else tried this approach?
