The original R1s have a pretty square shoulder. I'm not sure white shoe polish as usually applied to wrap around the shoulder onto the sidewall will tell you what you are trying to determine - appropriate tire pressure. If you can, borrow a pyrometer and measure temps across the tread to see if you are running too high a pressure in the rear (pyro temps higher in the middle tread).
