I have a Montana 3750 fl and would like to attach my two bikes to the rear.
The unit has a 1 1/4 hitch which is not large enough for the recommended bike racks that I have found.
I would appreciate any recommendations on what is the best way to carry my bikes.

There are a number of extensive threads on this exact topic already. The search function may help you find them if you want to read up on all the details.

If the 1 1/4" receiver is fastened to the bumper, it's useless anyway. Much has already been discussed here on that topic, too.

Best advice is get a 2" receiver designed for trailers (Curt Mfg makes several) or take it to a welding shop and have them install a 2" receiver that is fastened directly to the frame of the TT. Then you can use the bike rack of your choice.
