   ive done it, it fits the mk1 set up, dont know if the vts had a later crappy set up? but if so youd need to revert the to mk1 set up for it to work, theyre about £6 from euro parts for a bosch filter

   The spin on type oil filters for the early VTR are the same as VTS ones IIRC.
   
   Should fit fine.

   Mann and Hummel VTS oil filter.
   Mann and Hummel R5 GTT oil filter.
   
   Looks like the same thread, but the R5 GTT filter is ~40mm shorter
