The usual reason for wanting/needing footboards is because feet get a bit sore without the support that boards give. Some think they look really cool and if that is the reason you lost me but I have found that wearing boots with a really stiff and thick sole helps a heap and you dont need to have a heel toe setup either.
I honestly dont think foorboards would be very successful on a K as they would need to be futher forward to have benefit and then that means they have to go a lot wider which causes brake and gearchange connection problems but if he is prepared to do the work required then who am I to say no don't do it and I would be interested in the outcome.
As for just footboards without the controls that I would not recommend to anybody.
