Hey Ryan, There are currently a couple aftermarket grab bars out there for the 400. What they actually are is a bracket kit and a 250r grab bar. So, you'd have to cut the stock grab bar off, weld on the brackets, then your new (replacable) grab bar can be bolted on. I'd look for the cheapest bolts I could find so that the bolts break before your subframe. Last I looked, aftermarket subframes run $350+

I REINFORCED MY STOCK BY WELDING PIECES OF ANGLE IRON ON THE TOP OF THE BAR, THEN WELDED A PIECE OF FLAT BAR ON THE BACK. IT ABOUT 2 INCHES BY 8 INCHES, AND IT WORKS SICK , SLIDES REAL GOOD FOURTH GEAR NO PROB AND REAL STABLE.
