Short answer no. long answer maybe, depends how bad you want it. Here is a short list of Dimensions from your FJ components.

Front Axle Diameter 15mm
fork tube diameter 41mm
Rear Axle Diameter 20mm

Start with these, compare with the Suzuki Donor parts and if you can clear these hurdles then there are more to consider;
brake rotor diameters, speedo drive, wheel spacers, sprocket size and pitch...All can be overcome but at a price, again, how bad do you want it.

My Advice is if you have the SV650 parts, sell them and acquire the parts listed to do the FZR front, GSXR750 mods that are well documented here.
