I had the stock Badlander seat from HD, then switched to a Danny Gray Buttcrack Solo. The "Buttcrack" thing is just a slight ridge that is formed in the seat. It is supposed to provide more comfort and support I guess. I have heard some people order the seat without the ridge in it. I like mine though. I had the gel option as well. Looks great and is definitley better than stock.

I like my Danny Gray seat, I went with the Speed Cradle design. It has the "Butt Crack" also, but has more back cushion for the shorter rider.

The buttcrack keeps you from sliding off the side of the seat, right?
