Default One side handle bar vibration

My left side handle bar vibrates much more than the right.

I noticed it in the mirror but now it's pretty bad. Just on the left handle bar and it's one bar. They aren't seperated horns or anything weird. Right side doesn't vibrate at all.

I know that the left fork is a little leaky and I was going to fix the seals but would that really make one vibrate more than the other?

Because the right side currently weighs more. Get some bar end weights and they'll both calm down.

Really? That's possible? Or this like the guy who uses a metric crescent wrench and make sure your stator isn't plugged into the regulator backwards lol
