The fork spindles are screwed into the drive side fork arms, and held with a lock nut. They're pushed into the timing side fork arms up to the spindle shoulder and held with the lock nut.

This is what the manual says;
79. REMOVAL OF FRONT FORKS FROM
FRAME.
Place a block of wood or jack under the engine of such a height that the front wheel is clear of the ground.
Remove front wheel. (Para. 72.)
Remove front mudguard, held by a bolt holding the guard to the fork and the four bolts holding the guard stays and front stand to the fork ends.
Remove the handlebars. The bars are held by two split clips with four bolts to each clip.
Remove the bolts and the bars are free from the head blips.
Remove speedometer cables, inner and outer, from the fork.
Remove steering damper knob from the fork by releasing the steering column nut.
Turn knob until the rod is released from the ''T'' piece at the bottom of the column, and the knob with the rod and the column nut will leave the fork as one assembly.
Remove the bolt holding the steering damper anchorage plate to the frame. below the head lug.
Remove switch lever from head lamp.
Remove switch panel from the back of. the head lamp, held by three screws.
Remove the wires attached to the bulb holders, and the switch panel can be passed through the fork girders and rest on the tank.
Remove the head clip bolt and nut. This is composed of three parts, the bolt, the sleeve and the hut. Remove the head clip from the fork column.
The head clip must be forced over the end of the column to overcome the action of the fork spring.
Fork will now drop from the frame.
